OUT OF BOTH SIDES
OR SAY IT AIN'T JOE
Profanity. Vulgarity. The F-Bomb. That's horrible.
Of course, I'm talking about Joe Biden's potty mouth. Joe Biden, Vice President of the United Sates of America. Fine example to the world.
If he's apologized, I've missed it. Oh, that's ok because the White House issued a statement that said, "That's right, Mr.Vice President, it was a big deal." Mercifully they left out the adjective Biden used.
Three minutes after a company offered tee-shirts with the complete quote, they had their first order. Something I'd love to display. MSNBC tried to down-play it, too, saying GW Bush has cursed (he used the A-bomb) and Ronald Reagan joked about nuking Russia. Sorry, media, that's not playing with me.
What Biden said is the big deal. We have allowed gutter language to slip into mixed company, into prime time tv shows, and how many school aged children will now see it as a free reign to use that word. "Well, the Vice President talks that way." Just another take off on "everybody's doing it."
Well, school age, everybody's not doing it. But you wouldn't know it by our politicos running the country. I'm tempted to add " into the ground", but this entry is about bad language.
I'd like to start a protest movement to mail Biden a bar of soap to wash out that filthy mouth. But with the Postal Service what it is... oh well, that's for another day.
