For the record, just because your OP contains a swear word, doesn’t mean you can’t post it outside of the Pit. Moved to MPSIMS. ---

No one on the right is seriously trying to create a scandal out of this, are they? Does anyone even on right disagree that it IS a big fucking deal? ---

I fucking knew that, but it was health care too (and more than an occasional swear), so I did a mental coin flip and put it in the pit. But hey, you’re the fucking mod. Put the fucking thing wherever. 🙂 ETA: **Guin** , I don’t see the right making a big deal of it. The vast majority will just point and laugh just like the left did when Bush had a similar mic moment. (Bush was caught on audio calling a NY Times Reporter a “major league asshole”) ---

I’ve said it other threads, I’ll say it here. Profanity is one of the lowest forms of superstition. The only reason to get worked up was if he was a member of some anti-profanity organization, so that we could call him on being a hypocrite. ---

> [@Beadalin](#): > > I loved the press secretary’s [tweet](http://twitter.com/presssec) afterward: “And yes Mr. Vice President, you’re right…” Holy Christ, does the White House press secretary really need a Twitter page? I’m convinced that Twitter was popularized through some sort of organized PR campaign. It’s a trivial, banal website. Sometime maybe a couple years ago, I saw a bunch of news stories in a short period about how “everyone’s talking about Twitter.” I never actually heard anybody talk about Twitter, I just heard news stories about people talking about it. Am I out of the loop? Was anybody talking about Twitter before they ran news stories about people talking about Twitter? ---

Am I out of the loop? Was anybody talking about Twitter before they ran news stories about people talking about Twitter? I’ve never once had any conversation of any length with anyone about Twitter. Not one person I know in real life has talked about it. At all. That being said, I do read Conan’s tweet page because it’s fucking hilarious. ---

Obama’s response - and especially his timing - were absolutely perfect. It could be used in an instructional setting (Comedy 101) for aspiring comedians. ---

Well, I am personally shocked and disgusted at the vile and disgusting display of low-class, pandering… …nah, I got nothing. Timing was poor, but (a) Biden has a reputation for gaffes, and (b) on the significance scale, this ranks below Desiree Rogers but arguably above what name the First Pet was given. Who, in other words, really cares? ---

I normally would be fucking outraged at Biden but since he steps on his own fucking dick about once a month I’ll have to find something else to be pissed at. ---
