NAVEL %$(#@ GAZING 33

We recently read about an incident in which a reporter got snappy with a public official and it got us thinking about cursing, a time-honored journalistic tradition.

None of us have ever done anything similar, but we’ve all worked in newsrooms, places where it sometimes seems like dialogue comes straight from a David Mamet script.

We talk about that, and then Eugene and Jodie discuss how their wan, northern European complexions make them blush when asking officials for information.
