IF YOU ARE AS UPSET AS I AM ABOUT SCOOTER LIBBY'S CONVICTION FOR FAILURE TO RECALL HIS COVERSATION ABOUT THE WORDS HE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THE BLONDE WIFE OF A FORMER AMBASSADOR, let's review the entire mess, in bits and pieces, basically the same way the public learned about it. The exact dates, names and places of when,who and where each of these events took place are irrelevant now that Libby was found guilty on about as much information or as little information that was ever released at the time, due to the fact that from the public's perception, most of that information was created and fabricated as investigations of the case was being created, like biscuits, from scratch.

IS IN INCORRECT OR UNCORRECT?
There was a time when wrong would have been correct when referring to a word that was obscene. There was a time when the only wrong words were words considered obscene.
Okay, okay, by whose standards? I can hear the outbursts now. Well, how about this for an answer: by my standards.
My standards are the ones I follow. Is that okay? I still have the right to say and think whatever I damn well please. My mouth isn't controlled by the duct tape sliced off in increments by the PC Speech Committee in Washington.I was born in the USA before our guys kicked Germany's ass and put the fear of a Christian President named Truman ino the swords of the Japanese Warlords.
During World War Two, the only words that were wrong were words that described sexual acts, sexual organs, urine, manure and some other common combinations of verbs and nouns. The word damn was borderline. Much was made about the word damn in Gone With The Wind, "frankly my dear, I don't give a...darn...no...damn."
