#1 Ralph could have just quoted Shakespeare:

“A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality.” (from All’s Well That Ends Well)

#2 I remember a high school instructor once calmly saying to my unruly class, "Gentlemen, can we have a modicum of decorum now?" rather than saying "Shut the f--k up!" It worked. I admired him for his restraint.

#3 "Earlier today, Fox contributors Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash made comments on different programs that were completely inappropriate and unacceptable....,"

...but accurate.

#4 Then there are the many others who refuse to describe what they have a mouthful of.

#5 We must be raising a bunch of hot-house, delicate pansy types in the media. If one checks out some of the language used by Democrat Harry Truman, one finds him unrestrained in his use of language. For example, he said: "General Douglas MacArthur was a "dumb son of a bitch," and Nixon was "a shifty-eyed goddamned liar."

"I never did give them hell," he once reminisced. "I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell."

Perhaps, if the media and public figures used more colorful language, we might not have gotten saddled with some of the arseholes we have had in the WH.

Personally, I like the straight talk of Peters, Dash and Trump. Enough, already of the tyranny of political correctness.

#6 Ralph also could have just quoted Dr. Lazarus:

"He's fucked up, he talks like a fag, and his shit's all retarded" (from Idiocracy)

Proverbs 6:16-19King James Version (KJV)

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

#8 The convention, going back to the days of radio, is that interviews and talk shows -- with a few cable and late night exceptions -- are being piped into the living room of your gentle, maiden aunt, and language is to be modified accordingly. I suspect that President Truman, who was most certainly a gentleman of reasonable intelligence, used different vocabulary in public than he did in private. A two week time out will give the parties time to come up with vivid but appropriate terminology for future use.

#12 Obama, lobotomized Quaker,
A taker, a 3 AM shaker:
"Be not an offender
To species or gender!
Please call me a fvckin' cloaca!"
