How Professional News Journalists Talk About Barack Obama's Nuts

(The rumor is Jackson used the N-Word!)

What’s so hard about saying “cut his testicles?”
TESTICLES. The anatomical term for “nuts.” If the word can be used when talking about an ailment, (“Lance Armstrong is a survivor of testicular cancer”), why isn’t it used to refer to the TESTICLES at any other moment?

Because Kipper Gore convinced some ol’ white dudes a long time ago that the term “nuts” is bad. She preferred dingleberries.
