NY Post Doesn’t Know Its Rs from Its Xs

Published 12/6/03

Filed under: Miscellaneous

The high-intelligence New York Post (and I remember when it was a good newspaper) has an article about how Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry used — gasp! — curses when talking about the President.

Says Kerry, “Did I expect George Bush to f–k it up as badly as he did? I don’t think anybody did.”

Twice in the article, the Post refers to Kerry’s “X-rated” language — e.g., it mentions him “attacking [the] president with X-rated language.”

Um… the F word ain’t X-rated. It’s barely R-rated these days — in Kerry’s context (that is, non-sexual) it’s pretty PG-13. Maybe the Post’s editors don’t get out a lot. (Further, he wasn’t exactly attacking the President. Sharply criticizing, sure. But attacking? Nah.

Just had to say that.
