People Swear
Eschaton —
As someone frequently criticized for being a foul-mouthed blogger, I've long been amused by the faux public "manners" of our Village elite. I don't spend much time in DC, but people there... swear. I've had senators who I just met swear in front of me. House members too. Journalists also. This is perfectly normal, it goes on all the time, and the members of Joe Scarborough's Morning Zoo are perfectly aware of it. ...
