Washington Post: "Washington Post prints the F-word"
Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
wonkette for keeping us up to date: the Washington Post interviews itself about printing obscenities. Apparently they've done it before, for the Starr report, the GWB/Adam Clymer "major-league asshole" quote (Cheney: "big time"), and for some death row story in 1992. "[R]eaders need to judge for themselves what the word is because we don't play games at The Washington Post and use dashes." It's a fun game: what else might "F--- yourself" be? "Flog yourself"? "Fret yourself"? "Fail yourself"?
