Dozens of viewers are calling on the Federal Communications Commission to order broadcast fines over President Bush’s swearing at the G-8 summit in July.The FCC has received over two dozen complaints. Wah wah wah.
Bush apparently thought a microphone was off while he was speaking privately with British Prime Minister Tony Blair during a luncheon at the leaders’ meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia. Discussing fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, Bush used the word s—. His comments , picked up and carried over TV and radio feeds, came just four months after the Federal Communications Commission said that the word was one of the most vulgar, graphic and explicit words relating to excretory activity in the English language and would likely trigger fines if broadcast.
Had I no integrity, they’d be receiving one more. But my complaining about Bush cursing would sort of be like him complaining about my grammar.
