Cheney Profanity Incident: Internet Article



Stevenson, Richard. “The 2004 Campaign: The Vice President.” Cheney Owns Up to Profanity Incident And Says He 'Felt Better Afterwards'. 26 Jun. 2004. 24 Apr. 2008.

This article about Dick Cheney explains that profanity has become more accepted because he said he did not regret it and he "felt better afterwards." He was immediately forgiven by many members of the crowd because they agree that it is normal to cuss because it makes him "very human." If our government allows our Vice President, someone that is looked up to by [well at least SOME] people, then it is very obvious that society has changed from earlier times because public profanity used to be shunned; now, America's political leaders are openly cussing, and at other political figures because they need it to "feel better."
