I'm all for it.

After all, bullshit is bullshit and should be called out whenever someone sniffs it.

and have been just waiting to use that word.

And Barr wasn't the first to use it. Jim Acosta referred to fox as "the bullshit factory" not that long ago. He got a standing ovation in our house.

Remember that we never heard the word "penis" used on national telly until the Clinton impeachment. Never heard "pussy" either before trump and Billy Bush (Well, only if you don't count Mrs. Slocum.) on the bus.

I think Lawrence got a kick out of being able to quote him.

I suspect that Lawrence uses even harsher terms to describe Trump while off-camera. I really like his show, and consider him one of the best journalists around.
