Teenager takes Biden to task over cuss word
Future uptight Republican in the making?



A 17-year-old student from South Pasadena High School in California took Vice President Joe Biden to task Friday for his use of an un-choice word this week whispered into the ear of President Barack Obama.

"This is a huge deal," McKay Hatch told reporters. "Many kids and adults all over the world look up to Vice President Biden as a role model. He needs to be a good role model for kids and use clean and appropriate language."

7. Fuckin' A
The entire fuckin' editorial page of today's piece-of-shit newspaper was filled with uptight assholes who can't tell the difference between letters strung together to form harmless words and their own goddamned neuroses.

10. Do the math. How old was a 17 year old when that happened?
You CAN do math, can't you?

24. Now that you ask, he would have been 14.
It wasn't like it happened at the start of the * years.

Sheesh.

Jun 24, 2004... In response to Cheney, Leahy reminded Cheney that the vice president had ... to which Cheney replied either "f--- off" or "go f--- yourself"...

Poor kid...is he going to be disappointed in life.
Hint: Stop worrying about words and start being concerned with actions.

13. So words don't matter? Teabaggers' violent language doesn't matter?
Hint: Read some Lakoff.

21. If words don't matter, why do you use so many loaded ones in self defense?

23. Apparently I can't answer you honestly.
Edited on Sat Mar-27-10 06:43 PM by Old and In the Way
I hope you like flowers. It's people like you that make this kid's words relevant. I'll say it again...words don't matter, actions do. You obviously worry that Joe Biden should be apologizing to this twerp. I don't. Lakoff (whoever he is (I know who he is- no lectures, please)) be damned.

6. How about future responsible citizen in the making?
Why the knee-jerk reaction that he's a Rape-Publican when he's asking people to act civilly?

8. It's a typical adolescent tactic of argument


Try to play gotcha with the adults for not following the rules that are imposed on the kids.

9. People are weird about cuss words.
I let my kids say "fuck" and many people seem to think this is wrong, but they can't explain themselves.

17. He should sign up for a class in *groping* taught by Strom Thurmond (R-Hell)
Strom was certainly a racist, but he sure was multicultural in his groping.

25. My daughter heard the f word in first grade and it's no big deal. She's 10
now and knows not to use it inappropriately. However, I think VP Biden used it appropriately and it was not meant to be picked up for general consumption. It's no big deal.
