I'd mostly just want to reiterate the great words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, during one of his more spirited "fireside chats" (well according to The Onion):
FDR's Fireside Chat Last Night Just a Stream of Cuss Words
In a drastic departure from the traditional "fireside chat," President Roosevelt held American radio listeners captive last night with a stream of lurid profanities that lasted thirty minutes with nary a break to take a breath.
While millions of families gathered around their radios in rapt attention for their leader's reassuring words during a time of great hardship for the nation, the president cleared his throat, then said, in his familiar, soothing, Harvard-educated drawl, "My fellow Americans..." After the customary opening, the people of the nation huddled even closer to their radio receivers to hear every nuance of the president's tidbits of fatherly wisdom, recent policy actions which would bring the Depression to a swift end, and his positive-minded thoughts about recovery.
Roosevelt then spoke again: "Cock-sucker, motherfucker, fart-fucking, tit-licking, Christ-humping, fucker," the president said. He went on, adding, "Shit, bullshit, and horse shit. A good God-damn tapir-kicking ass-hole-sucking tit-fucking piss-shitter."
He continued to swear, making no attempt to connect the obscenities to any larger theme, or even explain to what or whom the curses were directed.
He spoke for nearly 30 minutes before falling silent.
