Yesterday, a liberal blogger raised some eyebrows by employing a vulgar eupemism for Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky’s, er, “relations” on MSNBC. (The easily offended probably shouldn’t click the link.) Anyway, here’s one reaction to this from the liberal blogosphere:

Those of you who know me also know I have a couple of kids — a teenager in high school, and a tweenager about to enter middle school.
Both of my kids have met the infamous blogger who used, you know, THAT word on MSNBC this afternoon. In fact, they were watching the video of the infamous blogger.
Neither batted an eye about the use of THAT word.
And I am so proud of them.
Because even my kids know the real obscenity isn’t a euphemism for oral sex, or even that it happened on a cable show in the middle of the afternoon. My kids know that the real obscenities are these:
* Our country went to war based on lies told by elected and appointed officials;
* Their brother and the sons/daughters/brothers/sisters of many other families like ours served for this war, came back damaged or dead, for nothing but lies;
* Their president and vice president lied repeatedly about all manner of things while refusing to accept responsibility for any failures which happened on their watch;

And etc., etc. Isn’t possible to condemn political actions you disagree with and be concerned about children hearing unneeded vulgarity on news programs? Or do politics trump everything?
