Curses, Foiled Again

Atrios and Center for American Progress both have nice lists of George W. Bush using naughty words in public, but it’s unfair to single out the President when many of his closest associates are guilty of the same things:

Inside, Rove was talking to an aide about some political stratagem in some state that had gone awry and a political operative who had displeased him. I paid it no mind and reviewed a jotted list of questions I hoped to ask. But after a moment, it was like ignoring a tornado flinging parked cars. “We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him!”

Then there’s this one:

Al Franken: “Clinton’s military did pretty well in Iraq, huh?”

Paul Wolfowitz: “Fuck you.”

Of course, there is the classic by the famous Bush fixer, and recent appointee, James Baker who said:

“Fuck the Jews. They don’t vote for us anyway.”

Those family values Republicans certainly are potty mouths, aren’t they?

But, then with GOP pretty babies like Lucianne Goldberg saying elegant things like this, they do seem rather tame by comparison…
