Besides, I somehow expect that in the remaining pool reporters, there are plenty who are unfriendly to Obama.

Plenty? Please find 6 or more.

Stop the presses!  Joe drops an F-bomb in a conversation with a friend.  Jake Tapper is a tool.

"Gimme a f*&$#ing break" -Joseph Biden

Try to find your 3rd grade teacher and tell them the dirty word he said.

Grow up

[Hoss]

I love watching the 'rabid right's collective heads explode.

Gweed, you might as well as come out and tell everyone you had a mancrush on FOTD, or at the very least FB, because you sure are channeling one or both.

Oh, but when Dick Cheney tells Pat Leahy to F$ck Off, it's a national story.

When it's on the floor of the Senate, then yep.

[RipTout]

Keep Joe Biden away from our children!

What difference does that make? Oh, I know, Cheney is a repiglican.

C'mon, Barrister.  Certainly you can see the different in context between Joe Biden jokingly saying "Give me a f*cking break," when called Mr. Vice President by one of his own staff, versus the Vice President telling a high ranking fellow senator from the opposition party to "Go f*ck yourself,"  after said high ranking oppo senator had just spent much of the day accusing Mr. Veep's former employer of profiteering.

Certainly, Barrister, you know the difference between joking, and serious as a heart attack uses of the word f*ck?

You WERE in the service, right, Barrister?

Um, I'm an Attorney and not a Barrister. Do me a favor, next time you want to be cute, try to get a handle on what you are talking about.

And what does my military experience have to do with your insipid analysis that context dictates how we should view our national leader's use of profanity? Just come out and say it, it's okay that Biden drops the F Bomb for our children to hear because he's a democrat.

And that just grates at your craw, doesn't it?

Do you honestly believe that?  Wow.  Don't like the analysis of another; and do what any self-serving attorney does.  Redirect.

You've become a bit of a joke now.  Maybe a mockery, I'm not sure.

Or maybe you're just an attention whore.

I was going to go with Solicitor, but figured that was a bit too noble. 

I figured your career in the military would've prepared you for the myriad gradations of meaning -- both connotative and denotative -- for the word "f*ck."  But perhaps I was mistaken.  Perhaps you served in the part of the armed service where they don't allow cursing. 

Either way, if you don't get the difference in usage and in intent between Biden and Cheney, then I have little hope for either the lawyering profession or for our professional soldier class, neither of whom you're representing particularly well with your unsophisticated knowledge of how to use the word "f*ck."

You want to know what sounds noble, the title "Esquire" some lawyers use. I am reminded of the line from the movie City Heat (Burt Reynolds/Clint Eastwood) where Reynolds quips in response to being introduced to a guy with Esquire at the end of his name: "Is that momma the heiress or papa the pirate".

As to your response, my entire point was that the media once again demonstrates its double standard when it comes to covering flubs by dems and repubs. Frankly, I could care less about people dropping F bombs (I've been known to do that occasionally). It's when our  leaders carelessly spout them where young children might here it is where I have the problem. Both Cheney and Biden were wrong, and both should be equally shamed.

Incidentally, I did not know that it took a degree of sophistication to use/understand profanity or that one should consider the intent of someone who has. Thanks for clarifying that.

Yes, your precious little flower will be irreparably harmed by hearing the f word.
