The "C" Word

I'm a little hesitant to post this video. It concerns a word that I don't use and that I regard as one of the two most offensive epithets in the English language. On the other hand, the video gets at an important point: The MSM hasn't given this any attention out of pure squeamishness, while at the same time they saturated the air with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. In fact, were it not for the internet, very few people would know about this incident. As things stand, though, McCain has never denied this incident, so there's little doubt that it took place. It says a lot more about his character and temperament than sitting in a church says about Obama's.

So, don't watch this video if use of this word offends you. But...it is funny and he did say the word.

The Guardian's Leslie Savan explains just what this incident does say about McCain while castigating Clinton supporters who would even consider voting for him...

Here's a worthwhile project: "The Orwell Prize, Britain’s pre-eminent prize for political writing, is publishing George Orwell’s diaries as a blog. From 9th August 2008, Orwell’s domestic and political diaries (from 9th August 1938 until October 1942) will be posted in real-time, exactly 70 years after the entries were written." More here...

Whatever would we do without the great Ben Sargent?
