Congressmen and Senators, including the cutting of the gas line of the brother of a Virginia Congressman (the nasty folks couldn't get the Congressman's address right) is more serious than bad language spoken into the ear of a colleague. Glenn Beck asserts that the Democrats want to get themselves killed in order to get more support, while Eric Cantor suggests that the Democrats are making all this stuff up and exaggerating it.
To me dropping an F Bomb is pretty small potatoes by comparison.
