Oh, the very shock of it!

I recall that years ago in a workplace setting something so angered me that I carpet bombed the room with repetitions of the f-word.

A fat, elderly, annoyingly Christian woman castigated me for my language.

I replied that it was not her place to censor my choice of words.

Her prim but firm riposte, in a tone that unmistakably ended the matter, was "My ears are not garbage cans."

When you are done laughing, consider the maidenly protestations of shock, alarm, disgust, and even horror, emanating from experienced and worldly newsies and politicians, at the president's far less salty speech in that immigration meeting, and in particular his use - his entirely correct and apt use - of "shithole".

Truman, still a Democrat's hero, was reportedly far more, and generally more angrily, profane.

And racist, I would guess.
