Even if I hadn't forgotten virtualy all of it we wouldn.t quite have gone on to disucssing such language, not at a Jesuit school!<BR/><BR/>Seriously I do appreciate that words don't necessarily translate easily from one laguage that easily but in some cases isn't the meaning conveyed by context? The jole was overheard by a native Russian speaker, so it seems. Surely wouldnt he have understood the context-meaning?<BR/><BR/>He certainly seems like a man who has no idea of tact or good taste when it comes to comments.<BR/><BR/>[he famously suggested that a French reporter who had posed an uncomfortable question about abuses against civilians in mostly Muslim Chechnya travel to Russia for a circumcision."I would recommend that he who does the surgery does it so you'll have nothing growing back, afterward," Putin said].. They were laughing in the aisle in Grozny I'm sure!<BR/><BR/>It would seem like that Betmo, but I cant remember Bush cracking that sort of joke among the veritable cornucopia of crap he spouts<BR/><BR/>????
