Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO- SC) was incensed.

"It's pretty embarrassing when you have to take your children out of the room to report the news," Graham said on Monday.

Graham, longtime pal of Sen. John McCain, was complaining about President Trump's alleged use of the word "s***hole" to describe countries like Haiti and some nations in Africa. Both Trump and the White House said he didn't say the word, but the media and liberals (along with Republicans In Name Only like Graham) had already gotten their undies in a wad.

Mainstream news outlet CNN reveled in the toilet, saying the word nearly 200 times times on Friday. "NewsBusters staff combed through CNN transcripts on Nexis for the S-hole word in the 24 hours of January 12 — the first full day after The Washington Post reported the controversy — and found CNN staffers and CNN guests uncorked the profanity 195 times in one day," Newsbusters wrote.

The network flashed it on the screen — with no censoring — and morning host Chris Cuomo wrote it on a white board ("THIS IS WHO HE IS: S***HOLE" he wrote, without the asterisks). The morning show from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. used the word 33 times.

Amy Siskind, head of The New Agenda and an L**T activist, bemoaned the word. "Thing is, if a middle school student said 's***hole' in class, he or she would face consequences — and yet, yet again, Donald Trump faces none. Think of the lessons he is teaching our children in bullying, bigotry, lying and h**e. Will take decades to repair," she wrote on Twitter (asterisks inserted).

But here's the thing: Parents had to explain a lot more to their children — and literally cover their ears (I did) — when there was another guy in the White House: Bill Clinton.

Every night for a year or more came reports of Bubba's sexual escapades with a White House intern his daughter's age. The Starr Report, compiled by special prosecutor Kenneth Starr, was filled with all kinds of words not exactly appropriate for children or young teenagers. "Blow job" and "oral sex" and "ejaculation" and "masturbation" were bandied about often, as were other far more graphic terms (including exactly what Clinton did with a cigar in the Oval Office).

That fiasco, though, was nothing to liberals or the MSM. They contended that the whole scandal was merely about sex (it wasn't; Clinton would be impeached and disbarred for committing perjury). And they scoffed at the notion that parents should be offended by the new words their children were learning, thanks to the President of the United States.

Liberals and their friends in the media gave Clinton a pass on everything, accepting even the most skeevy behavior by the accused serial sexual abuser, because they agreed with his policies. Even today, in the #MeToo era, few have cast a spotlight on all the charges against Clinton, which ranged from unwanted touching to demands for oral sex to full-on rape. Names like Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey became household words — but liberal women didn't take their sides, not by a long shot.

And liberals continue to make light of the egregious things Clinton did to sully the Oval Office. "Remember When the Worst Thing We Had to Worry About Was the President Getting a Blow Job?" The Root wrote in August.

Trump is, of course, a crude man. He's been caught on tape saying some very foul and graphic things. But the whole of politics has taken a detour into the gutter, too. "The discourse right now is pretty low," Graham rightly said.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez said last April that Trump "doesn't give a s*** about health care." He called Trump's budget "s***ty — and the DNC even began selling a t-shirt that read, "Democrats give a s*** about people."

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand upped the ante last June, saying "If we're not helping people, we should go the f*** home." But she didn't use asterisks. Of Trump, she said: “Has he kept his promises? F *** no.”

Democrats are, of course, hypocrites in all this. They don't bat an eye when then-Vice President Joe Biden leans in to tell Barack Obama that passing health care reform is a "big f***ing deal." They didn't care a whit that Lewinsky said under oath that Clinton told her he had had "hundreds of affairs" before "turning forty," when he began making a "concerted effort to be faithful."

Nope. For liberals, the ends always justify the means. And they only get incensed when a Republican uses graphic language. Or mistreats women.

But in today's climate, this is The New Way. And in some ways, Graham may be right after all. Maybe watching "the news" isn't appropriate for youngsters any more.

And that's a real shame.

Let us not forget the vagina hats women were wearing with their kids in tow and T-shirts saying you can't grab this with a picture to go with it.

And to think liberals think this stuff is normal ! ! ! !

Only when they do it is it acceptable. If a conservative does it he gets his ass handed to him.

You can't say a**.
Schumer might be more acceptable. As in, "get off your big fat Schumer and do something".
