Is shit now good for a political dialogue?

[SammyBlue]

Can politicos call each other shitheads, shitbricks, shitstains and pieces of shit now?

1. It's a natural progression from "major league ASSHOLE" you see NT

[Trouser Trout]

2. We've already heard,"Go F**k yourself" so why not? n/t

[The_Casual_Observer]

3. Is it okay to say shit (or take one) in a fundie mega church now?

[sui generis]

4. I love CNN's headline though

"The sh*t heard round the world . . ."

It's so loopy anyway. Food in food out; good grief, anyone ever change a diaper? Why we think there's something "offensive" about that particular waste is beyond me. Piss is also a biological byproduct, just like blood, sweat and tears, yet somehow we have this social convention about human dung as being "profane"; it's just biological waste. I wouldn't say that I have any fondness for it by any means, but one word describing it is no more or less "foul" than any other word.

We are SUCH prudes - some day some anthropologist is going to just SHIT himself laughing at us.

5. he was talking about Hezbollah

at least that's the headline at drudge and ABC news.

[kurth]

6. Dignity and honor, please

And Bush is not a motherfucking asshole shithead president.

[Trouser Trout]

7. This doesn't help our dialogue w/ Syria

In times of crisis it's important to choose words carefully.Unfortunately
we have a petulant child as our "leader" and everyone knows it but him.What an embarrassment.

[TrueFunkSoldier]

8. Says who?

I don't know what is more disgusting: him using the word to incite more American hatred; or, him talking with a mouthful in the face of PM Blair, talking shit, and inciting more American hatred around the world.

He is an appalling, despicable, Neanderthal!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

9. Wow, so shit used in a private conversation between politicos..

isn't allowed? I hate Bush just as much as the next guy, but aren't you guys and the Media going a little bit insane? It's just a word, and I'll bet everyone has said it at one time or another.

12. No, remember, this shithead is supposed to bring back

honor and fucking dignity to the White House. The fucking adults are back in charge, dammit!!!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

14. Shit takes away dignity?

:shrug: I'm so confused. This is just melodrama. I hate him too, but come the fuck on. He has taken more dignity out of the WH than ANYONE, but him saying shit had nothing to do with it. Maybe we should be focusing on the fact that he's rewriting laws because they don't suit him, or the war we're in that is probably going to be the cause of WW3. Him saying shit is a minor offense...

15. The bullshit artist had dignity before?

No, it shows him as a hypocrite, even more so! Are you too blind to see that???

[YellowRubberDuckie]

16. That was the point I was trying to get across.

What the fuck am I blinded by? :shrug:

10. I think Cheney set the standard with "Go f***k yourself" on the Senate

floor. No one can top that for intelligent discourse.

[WI_DEM]

11. This is a non-issue--hell, Truman was known for his colorful language

but then again Bush is no Truman.

[SammyBlue]

18. Bush is no Bozo the Clown

But Truman didn't run on the premise of "bringing Honor and Dignity" back to the White House and making sure the "Adults were back in charge."

[MADem]

13. Tell all the kids of your rightwing relatives that they too, can say shit

asshole, AND go fuck yourself!!!

And if their parents complain, that they should indicate that they are only following in the footsteps of our fearless leaders!

[ThomWV]

17. That Wasn't Politics - It Was International Diplomacy. That Fuggin' Idiot

Politics is petty by comparison. And to think that this shitstain is our representative to the world.
