Schwarzenegger drops F-bomb in veto message to lawmaker By DAVID K. LI Last Updated: 10:50 PM, October 28, 2009 Posted: 12:24 PM, October 28, 2009 Arnold Schwarzenegger dropped a subtle f-bomb on a bitter political rival in a possible payback for the lawmaker’s recent heckling the California governator. The Golden State’s leading man has Sacramento buzzing with his written explanation of vetoing a finance bill sponsored by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco). Down the left-hand margin of Schwarzenegger’s open correspondence, the first words of successive lines were: "For," "unnecessary," "care," "kicks," "Yet," "overwhelmingly" and "unnecessary." The first letters, of course,...

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."

Uh, never mind. Also: Sorry about that. That essentially was the DFL's red-faced response Thursday when it sent out an electronic news release blasting Gov. Tim Pawlenty that had a profanity-laced video attached to it. The release was designed to respond to Pawlenty's speech before national Republicans in San Diego, attacking his record on job creation, health care and the state budget deficit. One small problem: The link that was supposed to direct reporters to a state economic development report actually sent them to a YouTube video titled "Chinese Grandma Learns English." For four minutes, an elderly Chinese woman repeats...

Do you use harsh profanity in everyday speech? (i.e., do you drop the F-bomb?) A Daily Poll.

On Tuesday, Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook’s orders to head for Afghanistan were revoked. Under normal circumstances, this would not make for remarkable news. Maj. Cook, however, has refused to deploy until Barack Obama produces credible proof that he is indeed a natural-born citizen of the United States. Maj. Cook and his attorney Orly Taitz have voiced concerns that, if Obama’s legitimacy is questionable, Maj. Cook may not be protected by the Geneva accords, as he will have been sent to war illegally. Interestingly, the military revoked the order rather than fight Maj. Cook’s refusal. Keith Olbermann, in a desire to...

Yesterday, theHalfrican posted a link to the Free Republic Website where several of its regular members were bashing Malia Obama for wearing a peace symbol t-shirt. The thread had several derogotary, racist, and sexual remarks about Malia. It also included a picture of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that was accompanied with a racist caption. I wrote the media contact at Free Republic yesterday, kristinn@bellatlantic.net, questioning the nature of the posters and the site: Hello. I am an independent writer developing a book about the grassroots conservative movement online, of which your site, Free Republic, is included as a primary...

JOHNNY CARSON is rolling over in his grave. Even the late Lenny Bruce is having a fit. While you were watching David Letterman -- a bitter guy who never saw a woman or a Republican he could stand -- trash Sarah Palin's 14-year-old daughter by "joking" that she was date-raped by Alex Rodriguez and stalked by Eliot Spitzer, you may have missed the memo. Dave's in good company. His struggling brother up the dial, Conan O'Brien, on Thursday night was having a blast slurring women and Jews -- two groups that may constitute the last permissible sick-comedy staples. Here's Conan:...

No doubt noticing the pub Letterman got for his vulgar comments about Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter, Keith Olbermann apparently decided to outdo the Late Show house when it comes to making vile comments about a woman. From this evening’s Countdown, addressing himself to Ann Coulter in the course of naming her his “Worser Person.” KEITH OLBERMANN: Ann, to use the vulgarities of the gutter, you are a worthless . . . Coulter. View video here.

RANTING Susan Boyle completely lost her cool with TWO four-letter outbursts in a day, The Sun can reveal. She stunned Britain's Got Talent fans, contestants and their families before going into meltdown later in front of hundreds of hotel guests. There were fears last night that the pressure was getting to the show favourite. Cops intervened at 5pm yesterday after Susan, 48, went berserk in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London when two strangers set out to "wind her up". Law and warbler ... she explains outburst to officer The Scottish singer was heard to roar:...

...How do we account for Cheney’s failure or refusal to acknowledge all that we have learned about the world since 2002? How do we explain the worldview he continues to share with his camp followers both in and out of power? Do we chalk it up to him being a stubborn, venal, self-righteous man incapable of admitting his own mistakes? Is he truly what Andrew Sullivan calls a “dead-ender?” Do we hang it on his ideology? On his Western individualism that eschews the need for consensus and compromise? Or is he, as many people say, just a dick. ...

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...

Washington D.C., Apr 29, 2009 / 12:07 am (CNA).- In what family advocates called a “huge victory,” the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) may impose significant fines on television broadcasters for airing “fleeting” expletives. The justices, in a 5-4 decision, said federal law has long prohibited the broadcast of indecent language. According to the Los Angeles Times, Justice Antonin Scalia referred to the perpetrators of several incidents as the “foul-mouthed glitteratae from Hollywood.” One such incident cited by Scalia involved the entertainer Cher using the “F-word” during a live Fox network broadcast at the...

A hot mike catches the producer in an F Bomb tirade as the anchor and reporter try to maintain composure. Maybe he was watching Shep Smith earlier in the day and thought it necessary to drop a dozen f bombs on air in an attempt to upstage Fox for ratings.

I meant to post this yesterday but didn't have time to get to it at CPAC. A lot of people have noticed that profanity on conservative blogs is a lot scarcer than it is on the left-leaning ones. Believing this to be a correct hypothesis, I did a few Google searches and discovered that profanity is far more common on the left. Lucky for my weekend, this information has already been distilled by Patrick Ishmael at the News Buckit blog. He went to Google looking up George Carlin's "seven dirty words" on many of the most-read right- and left-wing blogs....

The eldest child of John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate during last year's US election, has launched a foul-mouthed and extended defence of herself on the "microblogging" service Twitter after she was accused of having accomplished nothing in her life. Meghan McCain, 24, used her Twitter account, which limits users to messages of no more than 140 characters, to send out a long string of "tweets" in which she listed her achievements. The curriculum vitae apparently includes teaching children at church, delivering flowers to hospital patients, and writing a best-selling children's book about her father's life.

CHICAGO, April 3, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On Friday, April 3, 2009, The Thomas More Society filed a Hate Crime charge in an Amended Federal Civil Complaint against an abortion clinic proprietor and ally in Rockford, Illinois as part of an ongoing court battle. On March 29, 2008, Rockford resident Keith A. Sterkeson verbally attacked pro-life advocates Eric Nelson and Kevin Rilott outside a Rockford abortion facility, saying to Nelson, in part, "A Nigger, a Nigger. You are a worthless degenerate Nigger. Oh, you are a Nigger! You are a degenerate and empty skull, thinking Jesus is going to save you....

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:...

When Barack Obama was running for president, he promised to change the tone in Washington. And what was the tone in Washington at that time? Acrimonious and foul-mouthed, due mostly to the extremely offensive rantings of one Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney once memorably told Pat Leahy to, as they say in the newspaper business, "perform an anatomically impossible act." People were scandalized. This came just several years after Cheney was caught on a hot microphone agreeing with George Bush that the New York Times' Adam Clymer was a "major league" orifice. So it's disappointing, to say the least, that...

Tracey Keim had been a bartender for years and thought she'd heard it all. But even the crustiest of gutter-mouthed drunks would have been hard-pressed to match the verbal barrage unleashed by a 15-year-old in Keim's 10th-grade English class last fall. It was the first day of school at St. Petersburg High, and the student, who was black, was trying to rattle Keim, 40, who is white. "Listen," Keim said, "you can't yell like that. I work really hard not to interrupt you guys, and I … " "F--- YOOOUUUU!!!" the girl bellowed. Some of the nouns and adjectives that...

[audio player] You never know what’s going to come out of Joe Biden’s mouth. But we’ll bet you didn’t expect this. Biden was a Union Station yesterday, bragging up Obama’s $1.3 billion “investment” in train stations and rail lines. The error-prone vice president was apparently unaware of a near-by microphone. When one of his former Senate colleagues called him “Mr. Vice President,” Biden replied with what is reportedly one of his favorite phrases:......

Reid, Pelosi in omnibus swearing match By: David Rogers March 5, 2009 07:58 PM EST After an angry, swearing late night meeting among top Democrats, Congress voted Friday to give itself another five days to try to complete a long-overdue omnibus spending bill that had become a growing embarrassment for party leaders and President Barack Obama. Senate Democrats had abruptly pulled back Thursday night after finding themselves one vote short of the 60 needed to cut off debate. The action infuriated Speaker Nancy Pelosi so much that the California Democrat wanted to abandon the $409.6 billion measure and instead push...

"No disrespect to Paul Krugman, but has he figured out how to seat the Minnesota senator? Write a f--king column on how to seat the son of a bitch."

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...

Peter Mandelson attacks Starbucks chief over UK economy comments Lord Mandelson, the UK Business Secretary, has launched an extraordinary foul-mouthed attack on the chief of the Starbucks coffee empire Howard Schultz over the British economy. By Philip Sherwell in New York Last Updated: 4:59PM GMT 18 Feb 2009 Howard Schultz, chief executive of the international coffee store giant, told US television business network CNBC, that "the UK is in a spiral" with "very very poor" consumer confidence. At a reception during a visit to New York, a clearly furious Lord Mandelson made no attempt to hide his anger at what...

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...

It seems that New York Times writer Patrick Healy has a big fascination with the word "penis." He uses it over and over and over again in his article about how actor Will Ferrell exposes a projected penis on stage in his play, "You're Welcome, America. A Final Night With George W. Bush." The New York Times must be really desperate if they have to resort to "penis" overuse to get their circulation numbers up. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Healy's story conference with the Theater section editors resembled a certain scene from the movie, "Porky's." When reading...

Brent Bozell's culture column this week tackled the new F-bomb single from Britney Spears and the kid who received death threats for starting a No Cussing club: McKay Hatch is a 15-year-old boy from South Pasadena, California who people clearly hate. He’s received over 60,000 negative E-mails, most of them vicious, some including death threats that have spawned police and FBI investigations. What has this boy done that’s caused such anger? Was he caught dealing drugs? Did he rage? Did he kill? No. He started a No Cussing Club. And for that he is vilified. Hatch says some people are...

Profanity can just F- off! Or at least, that’s what one South Carolina senator thinks. State Senator Robert Ford is introducing a bill to outlaw profanity statewide. If you say or write a profane word, the act could be punishable by five years in jail or a $5,000 fine. View the Bill at WeirdStuffNews Now I may be a religious conservative but even I think this may be going a little too far. Does the first amendment protect your right to swear? Well, maybe. But in my opinion, the government already has too much involvement in what we do, think,...

Today we are going to deal with the media coverage of profanities, expletives, vulgarisms, obscenities, execrations, epithets and imprecations, nouns often lumped together by the Bluenose Generation as coarseness, crudeness, bawdiness, scatology or swearing. But roundheeled readers should stop smacking their lips and rubbing their hands because the deliberately shocking subject can be treated with decorum, in plain words, without the titillating examples of “dirty words.” (Titillating, from the Latin titillare, “to tickle,” is clean.) If you want to fulminate about such prissiness about prurience in print, feel free to rattle your jowls, blow your stack and otherwise express...

CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he is not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing and plans to stay on the job. In his first official statement since his arrest on corruption charges last week, Blagojevich (blah-GOY'-Uh-vich) says he will fight until he takes his "last breath." ... The Democratic governor says he intends to "answer every allegation in a court of law."

Depending on where you land on this issue, this is either a judge who is abusing power by miscarrying justice, or he is a judge who absolutely rules (both figuratively and literally).I could venture out on a limb and say that opinions here probably - I say probably - break along political lines in principal.However, in this case, I think the debate should rightly focus on degree.It is certainly up for debate.Either way, this is one jurist who really doesn't take a lot of (expletive) in his courtroom.He's not quite a hanging judge, but close enough.Ohio Judge Robert Ruehlman, for...

From her perch on a downtown planter, Martha Murphy Rhodes recently opened up during an interview with Action News 5. Rhodes, who has lived on the streets for nearly 10 years, said she's seen and heard a lot - including a lot of bad language. "Everything," she said, "and I'm not a cusser, so I don't speak such words." Those who do may find themselves off the streets and behind bars. Willie Norfleet - recently sited for aggressive panhandling, public intoxication, an open container violation, and fighting - is the poster child for the new crack-down on bad behavior in...

By Lance Griffin Published: October 20, 2008 Hours after Republican State Senator Harri Anne Smith endorsed Democratic Congressional candidate Bobby Bright, the executive director of the Alabama Republican Party alleged Monday that Smith shopped her endorsement between Bright and fellow Republican Jay Love. John Ross told the Dothan Eagle Monday that Bill Harris, who was Smith’s campaign manager during her Republican Congressional primary race with Love, told him on Oct. 7 that Smith was prepared to endorse Bright in exchange for $150,000 to help retire her campaign debt. However, Ross said Harris told him Smith was willing to entertain offers...

Two-and-half years ago, during the Academy Awards presentations, a hip-hop group called Three 6 Mafia tendered their contribution to the ongoing elevation of America’s cultural landscape by helping to make the word “p*mp” (rhymes with limp) a touch more family-friendly. That evening, they performed a song called, “It’s Hard Out Here For a P*mp” – a toe-tapping little number so catchy, so memorable, so culturally relevant that it was outdone only by the group’s all-consonant all-the-time acceptance speech. At the time, when the story was new – and talk show hosts everywhere were going on and on about it –...

Parents Curse Behavioral LessonWednesday, September 24, 2008 | 12:42 AM By Corin Hoggard Fresno, CA, USA (KFSN) -- A lesson in profanity at one Fresno middle school has created controversy and upset parents. Instead of math and English, the 12- and 13- and 14-year-olds at Tioga middle school learned about words that might make some adults blush. During the first week of school, the kids got a lesson on words they shouldn't use, including terms for oral sex and prostitution. The teachers and kids were focused on behavioral expectations instead of the normal subjects, but some parents say the way...

Tons of readers are sending the latest, most pathetic smear against Gov. Sarah Palin. It is laughable beyond belief. One “Charley James” accuses Palin of exclaiming the following after Obama defeated Hillary: “So Sambo beat the bitch!” Read the entire “investigative report” here, which comes off like a really, really bad Onion parody. If you think these things should just be ignored, take a look at how it’s already spreading:

August 30, 2008 9:26 AM ABC's Matt Jaffe and Sunlen Miller Report: For Senator Biden – known for his loose lips and frequent gaffes – every word is being closely watched now that he's a Vice Presidential candidate.

Fox News Channel isn't always getting fair and balanced treatment from protesters at the Democratic National Convention this week in Denver. In at least two instances this week, Fox News -- which is often accused of conservative leanings despite its "Fair and Balanced" claim -- was under siege by DNC protesters. On Sunday, Fox reporter Griff Jenkins was doing a live shot of what he described as a 1,000-person antiwar protest march, when things went awry. In the shot, which is still getting heavy play on YouTube.com, Jenkins attempts to ask some of the marchers what they were protesting. He...
