7. Elizabeth Warren is a midwesterner and a lawyer.
I assure you that is not what she is thinking when she talks. Not at all. She respects others who disagree with her. She takes the moral high ground. And she probably swears, if at all, very, very rarely. A lawyer who has a swearing habit, whether teaching law or practicing law and appearing in courtrooms can get into a lot of trouble if he or she uses the wrong word at the wrong time.

Part of becoming a lawyer, "thinking like a lawyer" as they say in law school, is learning to avoid the practice of using offensive language.

If you slip and use offensive language in front of a judge, you can end up with a big sanction, and if you do it often, you could end up in jail for contempt of court.

This video is not funny. It is highly offensive and objectionable. It shouldn't be on DU.

I would be just offended if a video were made that showed an imposter or actor looking like Obama and using similar language.

You have the right of free speech, but this type of video is not appropriate on a site for Democrats in my opinion.
