Why is this front page CNN?

[Madison]

Because he's the president of the United States and should be able to express himself without resorting to childish cussing?

Front page though? Show me one American who has never cussed to express themselves.

Doesn't really warrant front page for me. This is stupid. Who cares. He could curse up a storm and I wouldn't mind.

Anyways it looks bad cause he's the president but he's done much worse like making fun of that blind guy

Big deal...so he cursed. Who cares. He's done much worse than that.

Maybe it's to show the readers how he really is holier than thou.

If I were CNN, I'd focus more on that World War III thing or on his veto of stem-cell research...you know that one veto from the spendaholic. Like climate change, the jury is still out on whether stem-cell research would be for the greater good, right?

It woulda been cooler if he was like

"They need to stop that Corn Wogggling" or some other texan saying

[Coppermine]

This was a side note on NPR this morning but they actually played the audio of him saying it; can they say sh*t on NPR? I guess the president can. It was a 10 second piece though; with WW III about to break out in the middle east, I'd say this is hardly news.

I'm more concerened with him eating with his mouth full. That was kind of disgusting to watch.

I really hate Bush, but c'mon, who the (bleep) cares if he said a curse word.

[Dr. Duran Duran]

Hey, at least he didn't throw up on Blair.

The "S" word wasn't the focus of the story. It seems to me that it was thrown in there to emphasize the concern Bush has towards the situation between Israel and Lebanon.
