    Sacramento Bee ^ | 10/30/9 | Rob Hotakainen
    WASHINGTON ---- It may be highly improbable mathematically, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Friday that the encoded profanity contained in one of his veto messages was "a wild coincidence." Speaking to reporters at the White House, the Republican governor said: "That was a total coincidence. It was one of those wild coincidences." The first letter in seven lines of the message, when read from top to bottom, combine to spell out "F• you."

    SNL's" newest cast member dropped the F-bomb on her very first night - but she doesn't have to worry about another F-word: fired. "Saturday Night Live" rookie Jenny Slate let slip the mother of all swear words in a skit in the season debut - featuring Megan Fox and U2 - fueling speculation Slate's first show may be her last. Despite the high-profile slipup, NBC says the Massachusetts-bred comedian is safe. Read more:

    Talk about winging it! Emmy Award-winning Fox 5 anchor Ernie Anastos dropped an F-bomb live on the air last night while making a bizarre chicken reference during an odd exchange with weatherman Nick Gregory. "I guess it takes a tough man to make a tender forecast," Anastos said to Gregory during the station's 10 p.m. newscast. "I guess that's me," a bewildered Gregory replied. Then, as both men shared a chuckle during the playful banter, the 66-year-old anchorman shocked his colleagues -- and the audience at home -- by saying, "Keep f---ing that chicken."

    This was the dramatic moment when Serena Williams screamed her way out of the U.S. Open. TV viewers around the world saw the irate Wimbledon champion launch a threatening, profanity-laced tirade at a female line judge after being called for a foot fault. 'If I could, I would take this f****** ball and shove it down your f****** throat,' she reportedly said. The diminutive lineswoman reported her words to the umpire, who called in the tournament referee at Flushing Meadows in New York. With the crowd booing, Miss Williams could be heard on the court microphone pleading with the lineswoman,...

    The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has asked Perez Hilton to apologize for slurs he hurled at Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. GLAAD was responding to a video posted by the celebrity blogger, whose legal name is Mario Lavandeira, in which Hilton gave his version of events after Will.i.am posted a video describing their recent confrontations at and after the MuchMusic Video Awards. Said Hilton in his video: "I made the split-second decision -- that I was gonna say what I thought was the worst possible thing that thug [Will.i.am] would ever want to hear" -- which was...

    The midday personality was frustrated after several hours of calls about his recently-laid-off producer Jorge Rodriguez, and he said something anatomically impossible about general manager Joe Bell. He tells Sun-Sentinel writer Tom Jicha that he hit his own dump button three times in seven seconds. But WQAM (560), which had just moved to new studios, had disconnected it without telling him. Rogers was originating that day’s show from his apartment in Toronto. Now Beasley is investigating just what happened, and Rogers is benched for now.

    The Supreme Court of the United States is a redoubt of decorum in a casual-Friday world. The justices still wear robes. The assembled attorneys, journalists, and interested observers still rise when the robed ones enter the chamber. Lawyers still begin their oral-argument presentations by intoning the words, “May it please the court.” But when the justices convened last November 4, they were hearing arguments about whether the “S-word” and the “F-word” can be legitimately regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. In a decision handed down last week, the Court ruled 5–4 on behalf of the FCC. But the fact that...

    This was no April Fool’s joke. In the first two minutes of The Daily Show on Wednesday night, Comedy Central host Jon Stewart made angry faces and told Rush Limbaugh to "Get the f— out of here." He was channeling his inner Olbermann. After playing audio of Limbaugh saying he was leaving due to "absurd" New York tax hikes, Stewart angrily yelled "Finally!" to the screams of his whipped-up but always obedient liberal studio audience. He exclaimed: "For years, for years, for years, New Yorkers have done everything in our power to get this guy to leave town!" These included:...

Iger scowled at and said "f--- you" to Tom Borelli, director of the National Center for Public Policy Research's Free Enterprise Project, at Tuesday's annual Disney shareholder meeting after Borelli told shareholders about Iger's refusal to sell the DVD or the distribution rights of the miniseries "The Path to 9/11."

    The New Yorker has a new profile of Rahm Emanuel, which, while containing nothing particularly newsworthy, does add to the public record on the new White House chief of staff's fondness for the F-word. Although we all know the word has flown around previous White Houses, it's hard to cite any former chief of staff, or other top-ranking official, who has actually said it on the record in Emanuel fashion. SNIP Passing the stimulus would have been much easier if Al Franken were in the Senate, Emanuel says. "No disrespect to Paul Krugman, but has he figured out how to...

    Barack Obama made political and racial history by becoming the first African-American to occupy the White House. Now he has made semantic history of sorts by being the first American president - or indeed the first American holder of any high public office - to go on record as using a common euphemism for the taboo f-word. In a television interview, Obama admitted he had ‘screwed up’ after two of his nominees to the fledgling administration withdrew following disclosures regarding unpaid taxes. Did the squeaky-clean St Barack screw up over his ‘screw up’? The halo that Obama’s myriad devotees worldwide...

    WASHINGTON (CNN) — Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, deserved it when Cheney launched the f-word at him in 2004. In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Cheney was asked if he had any second thoughts or embarrassment. "No. I thought he merited it at the time," Cheney said, laughing. The incident occurred in June 2004 when both Cheney and Leahy were on the Senate floor. Sources who related the incident to CNN at the time said the vice president had told Leahy to either "f— off" or "go f— yourself."

    THE bullish, foul-mouthed but effective Chicago arm-twister Rahm Emanuel has come under pressure to resign as Barack Obama’s chief of staff after it was revealed that he had been captured on court-approved wire-taps discussing the names of candidates for Obama’s Senate seat. Emanuel’s presence at the heart of the scandal threatens to roil the president-elect’s administration as a Chicago prosecutor builds his corruption case against Rod Blagojevich, the Illinois governor. Republicans are salivating at the prospect of tying the president-elect to the notoriously corrupt Chicago machine in which he forged his career. Grover Norquist, an influential conservative tax reform lobbyist,...

Reading the transcripts of Blago and Patty's colorful conversations, I'll say they did! But surely GMA could have found a more G-rated way of reporting that ;-)

The "Taser" referred to the police using a stun gun on a student at the University of Florida who refused to relinquish the microphone to other students at a speech at the university given by Sen.

    Rutgers University is known as the birthplace of college football, but in the last few weeks it's seemed more like the deathplace of sportsmanship. On Sept. 7, Rutgers hosted Navy's football team. What respect was shown in the wake of the midshipmen's forthcoming service to the country and the approaching Sept. 11 anniversary? The rowdy student fans of Rutgers hurled obscenities at Navy, thoroughly embarrassing their college and their town. Rutgers won the game but lost any sense of honor and decency. Navy was booed and peppered with "You suck!" chants when they stepped on the field to start both...

    It pays to be on the media’s approved victims list. After Don Imus made his “ho” comment about the Rutgers women’s basketball team on April 4, the media went into a feeding frenzy. In the first week after the story broke, the three major networks aired a total of 19 segments. On cable, CNN had 60, with Fox News at 21 and MSNBC at 13. The New York Times ran 12 articles, USA Today and The Washington Post each ran nine, and Newark, New Jersey’s Star-Ledger ran 11. But after the Sept. 7 Navy-Rutgers football game, at which Rutgers fans...

    Sept. 4, 2007 While Jerry Lewis raised millions of dollars during his annual Labor Day telethon, he also caused a bit of controversy. During the 18th hour of the telethon to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the 81-year-old actor, riffing in front of the camera very late in the broadcast, introduced an unseen family member with a description that sounded like either "the illiterate fatty" or "the illiterate faggot." In a video clip of the incident posted on the Internet, Lewis swaggers across the stage, appearing to dodge a cameraman before making the slightly muddled statement. He then seemingly catches...

    The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Tuesday denounced comedian Jerry Lewis' use of the word "fag" on Lewis' annual Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy and called on him to apologize. "Jerry Lewis' on-air use of this kind of anti-gay slur is simply unacceptable," GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano said in a statement posted on the group's Web site. "It also feeds a climate of hatred and intolerance that contributes to putting our community in harm's way." In the 18th hour of the 21 1/2-hour telethon Monday, Lewis -- bow tie undone and shirt collar open -- stumbled...

    McCain to Cornyn: "F--- YOU! I know MORE about this (amnesty) than anyone else in the room!" This salty exchange followed a mere attempt by a good and decent man Texas Senator John Cornyn - who himself has to wrestle with illegal immigration in his home state as well - attempted to ascertain some clarity on the number of appeals illegals would have in the new bill. During a meeting Thursday on immigration legislation, McCain and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) got into a shouting match when Cornyn started voicing concerns about the number of judicial appeals that illegal immigrants could...

    Major Garrett just mentioned this on Fox News. Evidently Cornyn was angry at McCain for leaving him out of the loop. McCain responded with a profanity-laced retort.

    PARIS HILTON SPITS N-WORD AND F-WORD: *As Paris Hilton makes headlines this week with her lawsuit against a website that published her personal business, new video footage of the socialite has surfaced on YouTube (scroll down to see it) that may do way more damage to her public image than that Web site ever could. Perhaps one of her personal items exposed on the Internet is a video clip that clearly shows Paris using both the N-word and the F-word during a social function. In the footage, Paris and her sister Nicky are at a house party dancing by themselves...

    RUSH: Well, when everyone else was in Selma, Alabama, the Breck Girl had to be somewhere. You know, everybody has to be somewhere, and John Edwards decided he would go out to the University of California at Berkeley on Sunday, and while there, he “called a janitors' campaign for better wages at the University of California, Berkeley, a continuation of the civil rights struggle that began in the 1960s. Edwards sounded the civil rights theme to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the ‘Bloody Sunday’ clash between black voting rights marchers and police in Selma, Ala." Now, how much sense does...
