I dunno, i've heard the word "fuck" so many times in so many different contexts that it's lost any shock value, it's part of my vocabulary, so the context of it's usage is all that gets to me now.
the context is fine. honestly though, its a good publicity maneuver. in an ocean of mumblers dissenting over bush, the one yelling FUCK THAT SON OF A BITCH ASSHOLE CUNT WHORE is going to get my attention and if he can somehow embed an intelligent article in that somewhere, he's gotten more exposure than the mumblers "have you seen my stapler? I think bush took it" types.
but, furthermore, I think newspapers tend to want to portray a more "professional" standard, and obscenity is not professional. If any action is taken it should be done so on this premise.
I'd rather save the profane for the internet blogs myself.
