What really makes this sad is that it isn't even the first time it's happened.
In March last year a Democrat in the Florida house made a one-liner that Republicans are only in favour of rights when they're for corporations, saying his wife should "incorporate her uterus". Republicans freaked out over that one, with the Speaker chastising him, stating that such language was inappropriate for children and guests.

Is it that america has not come to term with sexuality yet?
It's really just about one political party, long since abandoning any kind of honest party platform, and filling up at least part of that void with a vague kind of faux decency.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something.
I'm with the woman here. Why should you be able to legislate and control something if somebody who it directly affects can't even say what it is? Hardly like all those biology classes in school were horrifically offensive. It's just a body part.

Meh its just another body part. If the congressmen are getting all wound up about that then maybe they should try having a "mens" conversasion with me and my freinds. Then again maybe not-theyd probably die of over excitement.
As it is i dont see whats wrong with it. Shes perfectly comftable with her sexuality as i am with mine. Whats wrong with it.

Certainly not what I read there, they were offended by the word. If there was outrage at it being about rape, that would have been the first thing they'd have said 'mocking the terrible crime of rape' or somesuch. They got all flustered because she said vagina.

That reads as racist, if your intention was to write in 'black patois'... So, prudish and prejudiced?

Well it was from the fast show and was made in the nineties, that great decade where we had political correctness but it had not "gone mad" yet. The fast show took the piss out of everyone though, gay police in Amsterdam, Greek kebab van owners, socially awkward Germans apologising for the war, Scousers, the rich, the poor, the old, teenagers, anyone they could think of really.

It has hardly been silenced by PC gone mad.
The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff made a number of similar jokes, and that was on BBC2. At Christmas!

I now call for a moratorium on the word vagina and suggest the less offensive descriptor moochie cat. That way when debating public heatlh on the floor of the senate, or other serious arena, we will not offend others.

I vote for Innie-Wang. And ovaries will be called Stealth Nards.

Never saw Bleak Old Shop of Stuff, was it any good?
I personally don't think PC has gone mad, I quite like that we treat people with respect, but it seems people these days are all far too easily offended, like an army of Mary Whitehouses. Which is kind of why people are debating the offensiveness of the word vagina. I mean that seems a parody in itself.
Bleak Old Shop was a bit patchy but overall pretty good.
The thing that annoys me above all else is people on the internet who get annoyed about people on the internet who get annoyed about people on the internet who get annoyed about people on the internet get annoyed about things.
Actually I don't give a rat's arse about them but I can't stand their moaning.
Spoilered because of copious quantities of vagina, which is obviously a bad word.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

With this vagina, you're really spoiling us.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Moochie caat has "kid show host" written allover it.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
