128. You choose to misread what I said. I said I use such language myself. But I would never use such

language to describe an historic event when I "knew" my words would be televised and recorded. Having attended several state inaugurations and such events I can't imagine expressing myself with the F word under those conditions. Do you think it would be appropriate to go through a receiving line at an event and comment "Wow, this is a fucking big deal" ? Where does one draw the line? I read your distinction and I don't accept it as valid, nor do I think Jack Nicholson, who I really enjoy has anything to do with this use of this verbiage or its appropriateness in the given situation.
I am not using a "false equivocation". Both the Cheney use of this verbiage , in its place and time, as well as the Biden usage, were inappropriate. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
