Big Fat Hairy Deal

[Lilith]

Does it matter really that the president said shit? Did anyone think he didn't curse?

[kinkyashell]

Certainly doesn't matter to me.

[Scarecrow]

Not in the least, what gets me more is that the newshounds will do anything to get a store but if the goverment does the same thing it is a crime. Can we say double standards.

[wyndhy]

fuck. i missed the president saying shit.

[WildIrish]

I'm just happy he wasn't pretending to launch "nuk-yuh-ler" missiles. :rolleyes:

[lizzardbits]

wellllll shiiiiiiit


eh, buck fush

[PantyFanatic]

Best thing he's said in a long time. :rolleyes:

[osuche]

Only thing I *like* that he's said in a while. :D

[Pita]

I love how the news made such a big deal out of it his little curse word and not the content of what of he and Blair were actually discussing. Only in America. :rolleyes:

That is the sad-ass truth. Everything's important except what is important. :(

I hear that Texans know how to cuss.

:cboy:

[Coastie]

Other than him saying "Shit" which come on that's hardly cussing anyways, it's not like he said anything controversial. Other than the cussing it was probally the exact same thing he'd have said in a press interview answering a similar question albeit in a more formal less candid format.
What'd have been some real news would been if he had slipped up and said something bad policy wise. <shrug> Like previous posted I think this was non-news.

I think it is absolutely ridiculous that the media is making such a big deal about this. Obviously that somehow got that confused with the important part of what he was saying... that Syria and Iran need to quit stirring up stuff and back off. They would like nothing more than to start a full-scale war there.

[scotzoidman]

I tend to agree, "shit" is such a low-level vulgarity in this day & age...but I quit being shocked by what I heard long ago, only occasionally by who said it...I guess it's that he makes such a big deal out of being a Christian now that even a mild expletive makes him him look hypocritical, but even that pales compared to some of the other "shit" that comes out of his mouth ;)

With the 24hr news stations they have to find anything at all to but on the Air as 'Breaking News'. "Madona farts, film in 10 minutes".

I do think the US has some of the most inept news media anywhere. Wish they'd just give news and quit trying to tell us what it means. Maybe if they spent more time doing it right ... there'd be less wrong in the world.

It's chicken & egg. The networks want ratings & focus groups & the like seem to suggest people want the news they get. Chicken & egg perhaps . . .

Also, I don't think the word "shit" made it as newsworthy as the fact that it was an off-the-cuff remark to an ally. The angle I saw was 'Bush unscripted'. Politicians often make the news if they're talking frankly when they don't know they're being recorded. The communications directors, hacks & handlers try to have everything scripted nowadays.
