Why is it such a big damn deal that John Kerry dropped the f-bomb?

“I voted for what I thought was best for the country. Did I expect Howard Dean to go off to the left and say, ‘I’m against everything’? Sure. Did I expect George Bush to fuck it up as badly as he did? I don’t think anybody did.”

It sounds like something he’d say every damn day. I would hardly consider “fuck it up” to be X-rated.

Was that choice of phrase just a smidge calculated since he was talking to Rolling Stone? Possibly. But it’s not like he was standing on a podium addressing the Rotary Club or something. I mean, come on.

Besides, he’s right.

    I could go into why that is so damn cool, but then I would reveal how shallow a voter I am.

    I don’t give a fuck how many times John Kerry says fuck, I tired of all the fuckin’ politicians and with their stiff fuckin’ asses. With the exception of Al Sharpton’s fuckin’ hair, they are fuckin’ one and the same.

    heh heh heh… ;)

    I read an article this summer about the popularity of the word fuck, and it said that GW was quite an avid user of it. And no one mentioned it at all. That’s lame. Fuck people who’re too uptight to say what they think!

    I think it shows how many people could give a shit less about issues. Kerry probably did say it because he was talking to Rolling Stone and it was probably planted in his ear by an advisor.

    I still think if someone stopped politicking like every other candidate, people would embrace her or him.

    Fuck.
