Or S.H.I.T. for short. Are you kidding me? The uproar in the media is President Bush's use of the term in talking about Syria in the current Mid-East crisis?

Evidently an open mike at the G8 Conference revealed this EXPLETIVE as the media puts it. The same media that allows (read encourages ) much more gutter language in movies and television. When is the last time you read a movie reviewer criticize a movie for bad language? Yet, they love movies like The 40 Year-Old Virgin with terrible, vulgar language in it.

One utterance by the President of the least of all offensive words and there's an uproar. "But he's the President," you say. And I say,
"What about the last one? Was he raked over the proverbial coals for his language and actions?"

You might respond,"As a matter of fact, he was impeached." And my retort, "When is the last time you've heard that attached to him?"

You see, you can't have it both ways. Bash Bush, Forgive Clinton. Scrutinize Bush, Paint Clinton with a broader (invisible) brush.

It's enough to make me mad as H-E-double hockey sticks.
