Dennis Prager, An Obscene Joke

My close personal friend, Jeff Jacoby, delivers a solid b-----slap to that lying f---head, Dennis Prager. You'll recall Prager the Prat penned the following:

To the rest of America, however, when a man who runs for president deliberately uses the f-word in an interview with a national magazine, it is cause for concern. Nearly all non-liberals and even some liberals would regard such a person as one who has a different understanding of what preserves our civilization.

...The issue here is the public use of expletives.

But if [Kerry] uses the f-word in public in an interview, that is the public's concern. Many people do not understand this public-private distinction. That is why some callers to my radio show objected that I had never criticized President Bush's use of the word "a--hole" to describe a New York Times reporter. I explained that the president used the word only in a private remark to Dick Cheney when he assumed there was no microphone present.

The difference between using an expletive when you think no one can hear you and when you want the world to hear you should be obvious to everyone. But in part due to the unprecedentedly large number of people who have attended college, the obvious often needs to be explained.

If you are a Democrat and it troubles you that General Clark is proud to have Madonna's endorsement, that moveon.org celebrates by having a curse-in, and Senator Kerry uses the f-word in a magazine interview, you might want to reconsider your party affiliation. The Democratic Party has earned a reputation as a poor defender of our civilization against external threats. In fact, it has become a poor defender of our civilization. Period.

The dips--t following that column with this one:

That is why I am not troubled to learn that President Bush once used the f-word privately when speaking about the monster known as Saddam Hussein. Frankly, I am somewhat relieved to know he is real, not a saint (saints shouldn't be presidents -- I suspect that Jimmy Carter, a particularly poor president, never used such language), and to know that he really hated a man worthy of hate. However, had the president deliberately used the word in an interview and not immediately apologized, I would question his commitment to the rules of decency that make our civilization better. That is why what Sen. Kerry did frightens me....

We who are not on the Left think public cursing is a big deal, because we believe that people can pollute their soul, their character, and, yes, their society, just as they can pollute their rivers and their air and their lungs.

My friend Jeff reminds us of the following:

George W. Bush (in 1999) to Talk magazine: "They think it's like a high school election. . . . They've lost their f[uck]ing minds."

And then there's this:

"'What do rich businessmen say when the man they just given money to tells them that getting rich isn't a noble pursuit? Bush doesn't even wait for me to finish the question. 'I don't care. I really don't care. Does anyone ever say 'Fuck you'? I don't care if they do,' he barks."

Hey Dennis.... F--k you! And keep up the good work, Jeff.
