AND SHIT IT IS

With the Middle East about to go up in flames once again, what is the US media concerned most about?

The fact that President Bush “cursed” during the G-8 summit while mic-ed up.

The president and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair were discussing Syria’s roll in the latest skirmish in the terrorist war when Bush commented to Blair, “See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over.”

The media then went on to spend the past two days talking about President Bush’s comment. Adding ally Blair’s name to the headlines about the most recent, er, shit storm, just reinforces the apolitical political "objectivity" of the Fourth Estate.

Ah, as Rome burns, the media continues to fiddle.

Let’s take up as much time about this terrible occurrence as possible. After all, it’s certainly newsworthy.
