3. "Cunt". Just say it. Apparently it is equivalent in MI now.

I'm steamed about this but I'm glad they are fighting back. I saw the clip of her on the floor. There's nothing she said that was even CLOSE to controversial. "Cunt", "Twat", "Nookie", "Slit", okay, maybe that would be an issue. A doctor will use the word "VAGINA", so why can't an elected member of a state or federal body use it? I'm royally pissed about this. No, more than pissed. I just can't think of a better word.
