My intial post on this thread dealt with how I felt there was hypocrisy in Washington on this issue, and that I thought those who were going on about indecent speech in the media were just opportunists. Here's an article to back up what I'm talking about.

Sen. John Kerry's official election website is riddled with obscenities, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
The Democrat nominee-in-waiting recently said radio stations are within their right to pull Howard Stern off the air if they object to the shock jock's racy show.
But an investigation reveals Kerry's own website is filled with expletives, setting the standard for a new wave of 21st Century campaigning!

A sampling of web pages featured on Kerry's official site reveal:
"Bush f**ked up Afghanistan... Did I expect George Bush to f**k it up as badly as he did... cutting all your f**king legs off at the knees... Where the f**k is he?... scare the living s**t out of me... He has a pig-in-s**t grin on his face, he wanted to get into the s**t... doesn?t play s**t in my book..."
In fact, typing in the terms "F**k" or "S**t" in the search box of the official Kerry For President site directly links the reader to the action!
A campaign source tells the DRUDGE REPORT that "John Kerry For President" online simply contains published material, and the senator was simply unaware on Sunday that the expletives were being carried on his own Internet server. [A search on the official Bush/Cheney re-election revealed no such curse words.]
"I think you'll see the offensive words removed," the top campaign source said.
Unlike over the air broadcast, there are no known foul language rules for official campaign websites.
