Prepare for some pissing and moaning, probably, over Old Handsome Joe Biden just being Old Handsome Joe Biden again: Thursday, at a Harvard event, His Handsomeness said a swear, kinda-sorta:
seriously, I suffer from verbal frankness diarrhea myself and admire OHJB for being able to avoid such gaffs, given the amount of time he has to speak and act in public. I think he's been the best VP in my lifetime when it actually comes to supporting his President, being a VP, and not filling his pockets with mercenary contract monies or shooting his friends in the face.
I would welcome politicians using as many of Carlin's seven words as they want. I am offended when they use language to promote policies that hurt people.
Michael Kinsley defined a gaffe as a remark made by a politician in which he or she accidentally says something truthful. Frankness and an unholy reverence for veracity can be deadly to the political process, which relies very heavily on dissimulation, misdirection and the skillful use of the non sequitor.
To paraphrase Jessie Pinkman, "Yeah! Bitch!"

Potatoe, potahtoe

No, I just can't do it.
That&#039;s not <i>even</i> how you fucking swear.
