I will confess I have little patience with most of the standard-issue FoxNews Blonde Newsreader Mk 1.0, but Megyn Kelly holds a small place in my heart for her "Republican Math" comment. Actually, a bigger place in my heart now.

As some may remember, Huckabee commented that the environment at Fox made him sad, because the women - sit down, please, dear reader - the women swore. Megyn Kelly interviewed him, and it ended with her saying:

Good Drills.

Megyn Kelly to Mike Huckabee: 'I Have News For You' About Women
I don't think that Huckabee is referring to what Megyn Kelly is talking about. You have to admit that younger generation is much more vulgar than previous ones. More F-words, vulgar tasteless tattoos all over their body, bosoms and ass, holes in their ears, penises, breasts, you name it. I think that is what Huckabee was referring to.

But of course as soon as she uses the same no nonsense attitude on a liberal who you actually like, she'll go back to be a shrill racist harpy who lies constantly.

Then he had a funny way of saying it...

Quote:
"In Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting,” Huckabee said. “In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women do it!”
He continued: “This would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a woman.” But “for a woman to say them in a professional setting,” Huckabee went on, “that’s just trashy!”

The awesome thing about dreaming up about hypotheticals is that you can conjure up any scenario that supports your notions.

Really ? I am guessing you are between 70 and 95 years old. Am I right? That's not that old by the way for a Fox News viewer.

So what is wrong with being that age?!!! Do you have some sort of prejudice against people in that age group?

I'm younger than that age group, and I'm remembering the "swear jar" we had in every classroom of the business college I attended. You dropped any of the "minor" swear words (sh**, God da**it, etc.) you paid a quarter. The f bomb? That was 50 cents. Back then, not only did that school expect you to perfect your job skills, they emphasized how graduates should talk and conduct themselves in the work
place. We actually had a mandatory "charm course" (for those of you who haven't heard this term, it was basically a class to turn sloppy teenagers into professional polished young women in the work force). This was in 1979. I remember the lecture our instructor gave us on profanity...Miss Nancy would agree with Mike Huckabee. I do, too.

I can hear the snickers and snide comments out there.

We have a strict policy against profanity at my workplace. I work for a large (F-500) company in a blue collar, union job. Thirty years ago it would have been laughable to enforce such a policy on blue collar workers, but that's the world we live in now. I personally was once threatened with discipline by a junior manager over my use of a single profanity.

Ironically, the policy came about not from any ministers (e.g. Huckabee) hanging around, but from 30 years of trial lawyers, lawsuits over hurt feelings, and political correctness. In other words, 30 years of liberalism.
