1. Those immoral Republicans want too much regulation!

LOL!

[RobertSeattle]

2. 500 Billion Debt, Failed Foreign Policy, Health Care System Crashing,...

...And the have time for this.

[Loonman]

3. They forgot one

I thought "tits" was on that list, too.

[DrWeird]

13. Shit, they edit out "nipples" nowadays.

As heard on Entertainment Tonight:

"The set of Three's Company was quite chilly and often Suzanne Sommer's ... were erect."

At least I hope it was "nipples."

[Paragon]

4. Republicans love George Carlin!

It's "The 7 Dirty Words"! :D

5. hmmmmm

Can you imagine if there was a debate on this bill in the House???

[LuminousX]

9. I would pay to see that debate

The Honorable Senator from Oklahoma has the floor:

"Thank you. At this moment I'd like to yield thirty seconds to my honorable colleague from Nebraska."

"Thank you, I would like to see this amended to include the terms 'knobslobber', 'bearded clam', 'twat', and 'cornhole.'"

[BlueEyedSon]

12. LMFAO!!!!!

thx

[LuminousX]

6. Wow, they even took into consideration gerunds

What about 'penis wrinkle' can we still say 'penis wrinkle'? How about the term 'rim jobber' or 'salad tosser'?

[htuttle]

7. Wow, they amended the Seven Dirty Words...

According to Carlin, the acknowledged expert on this subject, they used to be "shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits".

So I guess 'tits' is now okay, and now Asshole is put in its place.

But hey, aren't they going to lock this thread, since there is profanity in the thread starting post?

:evilgrin:

[Ficus]

14. something like this:

"There's Adam Clymer -- major league asshole -- from the New York Times," Bush said.

"Yeah, big time," returned Cheney.
