Cable news anchors choking on Jesse Jackson's "nuts"

[Scoobs]

Clips of Blitzer and other anchors that fumble that dirty, dirty word. The lengths they'll go through to not say "nuts" is really crazy. I hope DU can deal with it a lot better than the news did. Here's the clip:

2. Well, bush almost choked on a pretzel.................

[Scoobs]

30. Hahaha, good point.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Jeez-- the BBC can even say "balls." n/t

[Eric Condon]

14. You are correct, England does indeed allow such ribaldry on their airwaves.

Good thing our health care system is so much better than theirs - otherwise, we'd just look ridiculous next to them.



:sarcasm:

4. nothing will beat the build up that Wolf Blitzer made of this

"It's SO VULGAR AND SHOCKING that we CAN'T EVEN SAY IT ON THE AIR!"

[gblady]

5. that was hilarious!

these are grown men???

[Supersedeas]

6. in other news, the Iraq War....what the hell must our troops think about these idiotic news people

[Colobo]

7. The can say "testicles".

[Ian David]

8. Jesse said "Dick", not "Nuts" n/t

[Pirate Smile]

9. He did?

[Ian David]

17. Yep. n/t

[ErinBerin84]

10. that's what I assumed at first too, the way Blitzer built it up.

Because I think the US media is more comfortable with saying "nuts" and not having it be taboo, then they are for "dick". But when I saw the clip, I thought it was clear he said nuts. God, Wolf is such a wimp.

[Ian David]

11. I saw the clip and it was clear to me that he said "Dick" n/t

[ErinBerin84]

13. really?

maybe its just a media cover up then to avoid saying the big D word. Lol. Maybe thats what Bill O Reilly means when he says "its worse than you think". Nut-gate cover up!

[guruoo]

12. ROTFLMAO! Jessie and BO just had to have planned this!

It's just too good to have ahppened any other way.

[grantcart]

15. Wouldn't it be the most hilarious thing in the world if this was there

tribute to George Carlin lol


getting all the anchors to trip around one of the forbidden words lol

[Ian David]

16. Next week, Al Sharpton will call Obama a "Motherfucker."

John McCain already said "The C-Word."

Hillary Clinton's preacher friend already used the word "Tits."

But to be fair, Tits shouldn't even be on the list.

It sounds like a snack food.


Do you think we can get Farrakhan to say "Shit"?

[Pirate Smile]

18. I've heard Barack say MotherF#$%er - I really have - literally.

Can anyone guess when?

[Drunken Irishman]

21. In his book, right?

[Pirate Smile]

23. Right - the audiobook of Dreams From My Father.

[Ian David]

28. Oh, great. Someone's gonna take THAT out of context, aren't they? n/t

[Ian David]

27. On Saturday Night Live? The Daily Show? n/t

[LaStrega]

19. ...

"But to be fair, Tits shouldn't even be on the list.

It sounds like a snack food."

:rofl:

I'll censor my initial (perhaps off-color) reply.

[Clark2008]

25. Well, I'll say it - but with less revulsion.

Tits ARE snack food for infants.

:P

[vaberella]

22. Tits = snack food. Thanks for the memo. If you were a thread Ian I'd K&R.

[vaberella]

20. Oh man. George C. would have loved that shit. I'm gonna miss him. RIP

[GoldieAZ49]

24. oh so funny, when what a Reverend says cannot be reported on the air

:rofl:

Jesse physical gesture gave his words serious emphasis

[GCP]

26. Funny how the BBC World Service were able to articulate it beautifully

The woman news reader said, "The Reverend Jackson was caught on an open mike stating that he wanted to cut the nuts off Mr. Obama".

How I wish this country was mature enough just to come out with the truth for once.

[HughMoran]

29. They can't seem to get Jackson's nuts out of their mouth

:rofl:
