Ooops, McDonnell has a "macaca"......Bwaaaaaaaa

[monmouth]

CNN Political Ticker reports that GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell of Virginia blurted out the "F-Bomb" during a live radio interview.

Plotkin asked if McDonnell would consider an increase in the state gasoline tax to help fund the transportation budget. McDonnell said no, and uttered the expletive during his response.


"So no tax will be raised during your four-year term?," Plotkin asked.

McDonnell answered: "I'm going to find other ways to be able to fund transportation. I've outlined 12 f---g funding mechanisms that are creative, that are entrepreneurial."

1. We grow them up in Virginia, don't we?

This should sit well with his churchgoing supporters downstate.

What's funny is that it's absolutely gratuitous, the way he used the word. No need for it at all, no passionate subject, no sudden question, nothing.

He just threw it out there.

Makes me like the guy, but Deeds has my money and my vote...............................

[monmouth]

3. Its a beautiful state. I have a cousin in Falls Church..n/t

17. bamba, this is bob all over, hes actually a really down to earth guy

sometimes he comes off as batshit insane but the scarey thing is he actually connects with people and you cant help but like him, its gonna be an interesting election..

[Tangerine LaBamba]

18. I don't like him -

he's a pig where women's rights are concerned, and that's enough for me. On that subject, I am a One Issue LaBamba.

Deeds is my guy, gets my money and my vote.

Of course Bob connects with the batshit insane. We've got enough of them here in the Old Dominion, that's for sure............................

19. rofl, not what i was saying but well played......

[Tangerine LaBamba]

20. I know -

but you made it irresistible, and I am SO weak............... :)

2. Could be a Freudian slip where he put "funding" and the k sound from mechanism together...

[monmouth]

4. That is a possibility. Just a slip of the tongue, we've all had them..

I don't think this one will go away though.

21. It's a meaningful term

"fucking mechanism" 1) outcome of your government's work in your behalf a) to "fuck" you over;
b) to "fuck" with you; 2) emphatic form to call attention to the determinism behind the legislative,
regulatory, and judicial work of government.

5. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah - was about to post this

Too Good!! Keep on giving gifts Rethugs.

6. I don't consider this to be the same. Macaca was racists. This is just crude.

And there are plenty of F-bombing on both sides, no big fucking deal, right?

[rbrnmw]

11. the big deal is

they pretend to be moral christians and look down at everyone else

[anigbrowl]

15. That's not a big deal

I really don't care is a politician swears or not, nor do I feel crimped by politicians from controlling my own language. This is a non-event in my eyes.

[anigbrowl]

14. Completely agree...all it shows is that he has a short temper

Which is a bit of a character flaw, but it's way different from being a racist, even a mild and patronising one. OP seems to think racism and such is just something to keep score with.

[ohheckyeah]

7. LOL

The guy has a degree from Regent University. Wonder how they'll like his f word.

[Arkana]

8. Is Creigh Deeds taking advantage of this at all????

Seriously, it's like McDonnell's trying to lose.

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. Places I've been it's used after every other word.

Ever been in the military?

13. I spoke f---ingese in the Navy

[Hasnt Happened Yet]

10. I had my hopes up when I clicked on the title of this thread..

he's a potty-mouthed idiot, but unfortunately it's no macaca moment. I'm sure the church ladies will be momentarily afluster, it won't lose him any votes though.

[Kaleva]

12. I think the incident is quite funny and that's about it.

[struggle4progress]

16. What the h! is an "entrepreneurial f---g funding mechanism"? Pimping?
