Does anyone doubt what Justice Scalia meant? Granted, if there weren't aren't art we wouldn't even be talking about this, but there is, so we are. The lecturing likes of Mr. Scalia get to talk about their Christianity and piety as if they are beyond such mortal moments of flipping off critics. But as we can see by the picture, Justice Scalia offered up the Sicilian version of the “f” word. Since we're always being lectured by all the president's people, Scalia's crudeness and crass response, straight from church, mind you, is at least worth a mention. Who exactly is coarsening the culture, huh?
