F words like Fashion lie in the eye of the beholder

I thought all the righteous indignation concerning Ann Coulter’s use of the new “F” word in a politically un-correct fashion in an alleged joke was lame.

Quite frankly, that was just Ann Coulter being Ann Coulter. Like geeze people, where have you been in the last 6 years? Quite frankly, the “rag-head” comment last year was so much further over the line of civilized public discourse. And it would have made a much worthier show of all the outrageous and offended sensibilities that were hyped. Now Dana Stevens at Slate uses for it in a movie review:

The Persian commander, the god-king Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) is a towering, bald club fag with facial piercings, kohl-rimmed eyes, and a disturbing predilection for making people kneel before him.

Let the hyperventilating and heavy handed denunciations from both left and right commence. Oh, and another thing. For that time and place, it could be considered fairly accurate description, but don’t let that stop you.
