Politico’s Kenneth P. Vogel, who from now on shall be referred to as “Kenningtonpants,” has been on quite a hot streak at his news pamphlet. First that story, and now this one, about dirty words! Naughty naughty, Kenningtonpants! “President Barack Obama called rap star Kanye West ‘a jackass.’ Vice President Joe Biden told a senator to ‘Gimme a f—-ing break!’ Economic adviser Christina Romer declared that Americans had yet to have their ‘holy s—-’ moment over the economy.” It’s a new national trend! We blame the blogs. MORE »

Absolutely nothing to do with politics here — “an enjoyable post,” in other words — but here is Ernie Anastos, an anchor at the local Fox station in New York, telling his weatherman to “keep fuckin’ that chicken.” ???. Then they show a clip of ladies exercising and he’s like, I want to bone all of them immediately. OH and while we are in this lovely apolitical oasis, today is the best day since whenever because PAVEMENT is getting back together for a world tour! Anyway… “Republicans suck.” [YouTube]

Mark your calendars for the year 2010 everyone, because there’s going to be at least one 2006-George-Allen-level comedic midterm race. Baseball pitcher Sen. Jim Bunning is running for reelection in Kentucky and will lose, loudly. Bunning resurfaced in the media recently for telling a pancreatic cancer-stricken Ruth Bader Ginsburg that she should go die alone, soon. Now Bunning has run into some local Kentucky trouble by snapping at some reporter who asked about his internal poll results, which wouldn’t be a problem in and of itself (MSM lies anyway etc etc) except that he used the word “goddamn,” which to Kentuckians is more appalling than raping 40 young children and a grandma.

This clip has been causing “a stir” out in California, according to our tipster, which makes sense, because wtf? Here’s this nice black preacher giving an opening statement to a California State Senate committee about how he, like everyone, wants to take measures reducing emissions, but he also doesn’t want those measures to fuck over his poor community. When he politely finishes, Sen. Pat Wiggins (a “Pat” of the lady variety) very crisply curses at him. He stares at her incredulously, because who does that? WHY DOES PAT WIGGINS DO THAT?

In Scranton, Pennsylvania (of all the shitholes in the country) a legal victory for the foul-mouthed has been won. Dawn Herb was charged with disorderly conduct when her bastard cop neighbor, Patrick Gilman, called his fucking buddies to complain about her. Patrick said that Dawn was swearing too loudly inside her house (because her goddamn toilet was overflowing) and then ripped him a new asshole when he told her to shut the fuck up. District Judge Terrence Gallagher dismissed the charges against Dawn, ruling that her language was “protected speech pursuant to the First Amendment.” God, I do love when some son-of-a-bitch takes the time to read the motherfucking Constitution.
