Our favorite? This glimpse into the right-wing religious reactionary mind, which apparently had its hooks into ex-Alaska Gov. Palin early in her formative yrs.
“In our teen years, if we stayed awake long enough, we’d sneak upstairs and watch Saturday Night Live. Having grown up in a house where ‘butt’ was a bad word and we had to say ‘bottom,’ we assumed we had to sneak. It wasn’t until years later that we learned our parents got a kick out of SNL’s political humor, too.”They couldn't say "butt," because it was a "bad word." Yes, butt. As in, buttocks. Not the sterile Latin of gluteus maximus, but still a word that might be used in a hospital, by medical types. Is it contraction that makes it a "bad word?" What does make a "bad" word, anyway? Is "penis" a bad word? What would be a "good" euphemism for penis?
There is no reasoning w/ people raised & warped by concepts like "bad words." No bi-partisanship is possible, because their very existence has been partisan since birth.
