1. My first objection

Besides the obvious baiting, was anything on my body being compared to Cheney. "Pussy" is a loaded word, and my second objection is the way it's come to denote someone who is weak and cowardly at the same time, while stilll very strongly associated with female genitalia.

And third, using the word in a subject line in what we are discussing took away from the actual topic--the disgusting Cheney. He needs to be tried for war crimes, and while I understand the need to vent, we also need action.
