Roger Ailes “Go-To Guy” Shepard Smith eschewed the Victorian verbiage of his more “highbrow” FNC colleagues, e.g., Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, etc., today on Studio B today. In a political panel discussing whether Hillary Clinton’s supporters were warming to Barack Obama after Hill’s speech last night, one of the panelists mentioned that yesterday PUMA leaders’ said that she still had a chance. Shep cheekily interrupted, “I have to let people know what acronyms mean: PUMA is Party Unity My Ass.”
No New York hoity-toity euphemism for the hoi polloi from that Southern Rebel.

Big deal. Or should I say BFD. He’s said worse on the air. Much worse.

Hehehe… I wish I had watched that. Shep Smith does make his reports entertaining as well as informative.

I don’t really consider “ass” to be a cuss word–at least in these parts it’s kind of a bland cuss word at best. (I know it “curse”, but that’s not the way it’s usually said here.)
At least Shep keeps it interesting and entertaining. He’s more fun to watch than most anchors. Of course, his being from the South is a big plus in my book!
