Stern

HOW WEIRD

After Dick Cheney's outburst last week (not to mention the crumbling public opinion of the as-the-stomach-turns of the "Howard Stern profanity scandal"), they're still going ahead with prosecuting him?

Look. Stern's a dick, and I listen to him for about ten minutes every three or four months, just to make sure I still don't like him. Yeah, Howard is like radishes for my ear hole. But I'm pretty sure he never actually says any of the seven words on the air. Why would he, when coming up with stupid 4th-grade euphemisms for genitalia and various sexual acts is so much fun (not to mention still phenomenally lucrative)?

And if he's not speaking actual profanity, then what's the big deal? Someone said something semi-racist on his show? Oooh, it's a good thing the FCC doesn't monitor Hannity or Scarborough or Limbaugh or Savage or Grant or those other jokers this closely. We'd have nothing to listen to except Jay-Z remixes. Actually, Maybe I could handle that for a few minutes at a time.

If Cheney isn't fined and censured for his outburst on the floor of Congress... well, I was going to say it's just proof that their hypocrisy is no longer a secret and their dog-wagging is no longer holding water, but that train left the station years ago.
