To be fair, cherry picking isn't really accurate. Cherries are sweet and delicious. What we do is more turd mining."

The word "turd" does not belong in the Post.

Oh, please Bill. Have a sense of humor. It was quote, and a good one at that.

Of course, we may differ on perspective. I don't blink at "bad words" (see George Carlin), but words like "waterboarding" or "warrantless wiretapping" or "signing statements" I find completely obscene.

Form or substance? Pick your weapon.

Didn't the previous White House occupant refer to his chief of staff as "Turd Blossom?" If it's good enough for a President of the U.S., isn't it fit for the Post?
