Janet Jackson’s nip-slip cost CBS millions. Accidentally broadcast swear words on awards shows by the likes of Bono, Cher and Nicole Richie could have been assessed at $325,000 a piece, according to FCC policy.
So what will happen as a result of Virginia Republican nominee Bob McDonnell’s use of the F-word when talking about his transportation funding proposals? Good question.
The candidate dropped it during an interview with WTOP radio. Hear it here.
“I’m going to find other ways to be able to fund transportation. I’ve outlined 12 f–king funding mechanisms that are creative, that are entrepreneurial,” said the not so classy candidate.
According to the Hill Web site, the conservative Republican faces some other problems. He’s been defending himself after the Washington Post found a graduate thesis he wrote 20 years ago, which presented a series of ways the federal government could strengthen the “traditional family.” He argued government should favor married couples over “cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.”
He says now that he doesn’t remember that old paper and should be judged on his current record as a legislator and Attorney General.
One thing is for sure: if this guy comes down hard for FCC punishments for swear words, he’ll win hypocrite of the year, right behind Larry Craig, Mark Sanford and Mike Duvall.
The FCC can’t do anything unless someone complains about the remark.
McDonnell’s campaign video on his Web site promises that he is a protector of families. I think they may have to be protected from his language on the air.
