I’d still say that most South Carolina Republicans wouldn’t mind Trump using certain words, as long as he only used them when referring to gay people and non-white people.

IRONY ALERT!

You know who made a big deal out of reproaching candidates in the 50s for using ‘foul language’?

Richard Nixon.

Reminds me of a story I read about Bess Truman. Bess was in a receiving line and a Congressman’s wife came up to her, all upset that President Truman had called her husband’s legislation a “bunch of horse manure.” Bess didn’t miss a beat, smiled at the woman and replied, “Honey, you don’t know how many years it took me to get him to say manure.”

“I’m not sure a lot of voters are excited about having a President, who when he gets rattled, when gets upset, begins cursing and yelling vulgarities,” he told reporters.

Has Cruz seen the size of Trump crowds? He knows Trump is leading amongst Republicans in polls, no?

Rubio: “I teach my kids to be respectful. There are certain words you don’t say,” Rubio said. “No matter what setting you’re in, act with dignity and hold yourself up.”

Rubio is as good a teacher, of showing respect, as he is at being a senator.

Don’t quit your day job as a shitty senator.

You can’t tell me that Cruz didn’t say more than ‘Shucky-darn’ when the results for New Hampshire came out.

I said it yesterday, but I’d rather a candidate curse profusely than be the self-appointed voice of God.

One of the best political satires ever…though a British friend swears it’s more like a documentary.

But that video left out one of the best – when a staffer objects that some task is in their “purview,” Malcolm goes off:

“Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your ‘purview,’ and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock.”

Hey, at least it would be lubricated!

“I teach my kids to be respectful. There are certain words you don’t say,”

“…which is why I send them to the Atwater School of Dogwhistling for lessons every Saturday…”

That is totally out of control and hilarious. I believe that’s Peter Capaldi, the latest version Doctor Who.

Ferreal?

No wonder Trump is beating the shit out of the Republicans.

Yup. If you haven’t seen the show (The Thick of It), I highly recommend it. But be careful – it’s video crack for political junkies, once you’ve started, you’ll likely be addicted.

There is also a movie (with some of the same characters and very much the same feel) called “In the Loop.”
