I would die for a politician who would have the balls to say, e.g. in this particular example, “please stop making a fuss about meaningless nothings and concentrate on the actual subject at hand”. That, is a person I would cast my very first vote to. Till then….

It’s kinda funny we were having exactly the same discussion at the office. Even though I am not fussed about him swearing I did hear a very good argument, that him swearing is effectively a ‘dumbing down’ assumption for the audience and thus a bit pretentious.

Aside from the discussion on the media tools, what I find hilarious (as well as deeply disturbing and depressing), is that it is precicelly irrelevant silly things like this (a politician mentioning the word ‘twat’, Janet Jackson showing a bit of nipple, etc, etc) that get people worked up, into a debate, or have their opnion affected or even formed by.
He said twat. Thus, he is cool/rude/hip/with the young generation/inexperienced…….
Bleh.
