F**k Busk = ok?

FTA: "The Sept. 21 editorial of The Rocky Mountain Collegian was a taunt: TASER THIS...FUCK BUSH. Students groups like the College Republicans and faculty have in fact, obliged -- insofar as they are legally able -- to take down the students responsible."

I'm not a big fan of blatently making fun of our president. I don't know if I think that this should be a punishable offence, as freedom of speech kicks in here, but do you really have to stoop to the childishness of publishing "F**k Bush" in a collegiate newspaper. I think it is in poor form. Newspapers are supposed to be about journalism, with a splash of opinion - not the opposite.

The President has done some crazy things in his term[s], but either way, stooping to the extent of derrogotary remarks seems to be the wrong way to get your point across - you might as well just say "Bush is fat and ugly". Childish stabs for the sake of getting a rise out of people - both on your side and off - is just immature.

Although, in all fairness, this isn't a newspaper for a college, so FUCK BUSH.
