Blogger Marcy Wheeler was on MSNBC to discuss a possible probe of CIA actions — something about torture or Dick Cheney or assassination squads of ninja tigers, I’m not sure — and while she hasn’t learned how to look into the camera, I have to give her credit for saying “blow job” on live TV.  The MSNBC host whose name doesn’t matter is then all, “Uh, I’m sure Marcy apologizes for using that term.”  But on her blog Empty Wheel, Marcy doesn’t sound very apologetic:

And the DC press corps, I think, is apparently still horrified by the possibility that you can just say it, like that, blow job, and in doing so, expose it for all its tawdry but ultimately minor import. Perhaps just saying it like that would break the spell they were under for two years, break the magic of the Presidential blow job.

Seems to me like she’s content to go toe-to-toe with the FCC on this one.  Not me.  If I ever had the grave misfortune of being on a show where people talked about politics, I’d try to stay awake by speaking more obliquely about the fellatio.  “You realize, Senator, that our Commander-in-Chief got a FATTY BEEJ in the Oval Office?”  Go ahead and try to censor that.  I got a whole bag full of euphemisms, and nothing to do with my life but make up more.
