Sorry if this was already posted. I haven't had time to read all the recent posts. (I should have posted this in current events--whoops.)

"Scarborough led the lynch mob over the 2004 Janet Jackson halftime show on CBS -- demanding that the FCC impose massive fines against CBS and MTV, among others -- and has railed against "rock stars" and entertainers who use, as he used to call it (before this morning), "the F word." Indeed, Scarborough even expressed outrage over the fact that the Government would even consider refraining from imposing substantial fines on ABC when Bono, on a live awards show, used the "F word."

Ha. I didn't even hear it. I skipped ahead, and waited, and waited. But it just sounded like the normal crap on cable 'news' networks.

It's a Scottish martial arts which is comprised of mostly head butting and kicking someone when they're on the ground.

Oops. I love how he tries to pretend nothing happened but turns beet-red when he realizes, "wait, did I just say the word?"

It's interesting that dropping an F bomb apparently comes so easily to him that he's unaware he even said it. I'm no prude, but it would take a very conscious effort on my part to let one fly. People who feign shock and horror at public profanity, but who obviously indulge in the practice off the air, amuse me.
