If you guessed Anthony Weiner, you would be right.
And he !Gasp! said a bad word... "Tea Party"*:
"I follow Twitter for the Tea Party and just show up to fuck with them."
-- Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), quoted by the New York Observer. He then added, "No, I don't do that. I just sit at my desk and they send me talcum powder every couple of weeks."

Droppin' the Fox Bomb on ClusterFox:
Memo to television news producers: you book Dennis Rodman, you may hear from the FCC. Appearing on Fox News' "Your World," an animated Dennis Rodman, discussing the troubles of Tiger Woods, lets loose a certain gerund to describe (we think) attorney Gloria Allred. Fox NewsWhere's the outrage, ClusterFox viewers? And how much will the fine be?

Why I love live Tee Vee:
Oops.
Let's hope this doesn't doom Jenny Slate's career, but it certainly is the moment from SNL everyone's talking about: here's the newcomer's apparently accidental use of the f-word.So, how much will SNL be fined?

Bob McDonnell, the normally-disciplined Republican candidate for governor in Virginia, mistakenly blurted out the F-bomb during a live radio interview on Friday.Oooopsie!Appearing on Washington-area radio station WTOP, McDonnell was sparring with host Mark Plotkin on the topic of transportation funding.
Plotkin asked if McDonnell would consider an increase in the state gasoline tax to help fund the transportation budget. McDonnell said no, and uttered the expletive during his response.
Funding hypocrite.Thesis controversy
McDonnell's 1989 thesis for Regents, is a 93-page document titled The Republican Party's Vision for the Family: The Compelling Issue of The Decade. The document explored the rise in the numbers of divorces and illegitimate births, it examined public policies that may have contributed to that increase and proposed solutions.
The document gained attention in the campaign because it outlined a 15-point conservative Republican/Christian agenda, 10 points McDonnell pursued during his years in the General Assembly, according to press analysis[4]. This agenda includes opposition to abortion in cases of rape or incest ..., covenant marriage, school vouchers, tax policies that favor heterosexual families, and discrimination against "cohabitators, homosexuals [and] fornicators."
In his thesis he also wrote that the "new trend of working women and feminists" was "detrimental to the family," he criticized Griswold v. Connecticut for "attempting to create a view of liberty based on radical individualism, while facilitating statist control of select family issues," and described the Eisenstadt v. Baird holding as "illogical." On page 20, he wrote, "man’s basic nature is inclined towards evil, and when the exercise of liberty takes the shape of pornography, drug abuse, or homosexuality, the government must restrain, punish, and deter."
McDonnell responded to the article, stating "Virginians will judge me on my 18-year record as a legislator and attorney general and the specific plans I have laid out for our future -- not on a decades-old academic paper I wrote as a student during the Reagan era and haven't thought about in years." The Washington Post reported McDonnell maintains: "Like everybody, my views on many issues have changed as I have gotten older." McDonnell says his evolved position on family policy is best represented by his 1995 welfare reform legislation where he "worked to include child day care in the bill so women would have greater freedom to work." He now insists that the position on working women he espoused in the thesis, "was simply an academic exercise and clearly does not reflect my views."[4]
Not as much fun as a suspension, but I guess it'll have to do. Incident in question above.
Insiders tell us that beginning today, Morning Joe will air on a slight delay. Yesterday, host Joe Scarborough sort of forgot he was on live TV and said, "They don't go around flipping people off or screaming 'F*** You' at the top of their lungs," when describing how members of Pres.-elect Obama's inner circle work. The delay will allow producers to "drop" the audio so expletives aren't heard over the airwaves.
This is not new for MSNBC morning TV. When I worked there, Imus in the Morning always aired on a seven-second delay.
Heh, thanks to Bob for letting me know what all the blather was about, I missed the F bomb but heard all the dancing afterwards.
