Rudd and the F Bomb

[logansrogue]

Kevin Rudd drops F bombs, doesn't back down. MPs very upset about their printing allowances being cut back.

What say you? I think he can still make his point without dropping multiple F-bombs. I agree with what he was trying to do, but I'm skittish about bad tempers. You know, having a hair-trigger angry father and all.

It's a good thing we have such a respectful, open-minded debate here in the States. You see, we here in America believe in the power of the idea, and that, in the market place of ideas, real debate will sway the opposition. Real ideas will trump dogma, and...

I'm sorry. This just in. Most Americans are morons, so polarized in their beliefs that they cannot be swayed by logic or reality. Sorry. Go back to your Australian ways now.

Suddenly I find myself liking the guy a little more again.

Didn't we all know Kev was a grumpy potty-mouth when we voted him in though? I certainly did. I don't mind it. Sometimes political discourse needs a little anger.

Oh, I agree, and I think it's great he has a spine on this issue and isn't bowing to their bullshit. I just know that if the PM called me a fucker, I'd cry! LOL!

Swearing is mostly a sign of an insufficient vocabulary and poor education.

Fuck that.

I think its about context and time and place. If he fronted a press conference or the press any where and started swearing a blue streak I'd worry. This was said in a party meeting, there were no press or even opppostition present, and apparently got as good as he gave. I have no problem with this.
