An immodest proposal
Sorry about the delay in writing - things have been somewhat hectic recently.
Anyway, my idea is that there are a number of different words we use in everyday speech (well, I do, anyway) that are generally banned as obscene and/or have lost their original force.
My suggested replacements to be used in everyday speech:
cheney - as in "go and cheney yourself", "what a cheneying loser" or just "cheney off"
rice - for another four-letter word - both steaming warm substances - "what a load of rice", or just "oh, rice!"
ashcroft - even sounds a little like the word it's replacing - "stupid ashcroft", "what an ashcroft", "don't be such an ashcroft"
rumsfeld - sounds just right for a part of the male anatomy - "what a dumb rumsfeld", "rumsfeldhead", etc.
But what about "bush" - where do we use the Dear Leader's name. Or DeLay or Wolfowitz (that last one's crying out for some use).
Leave a comment if you have better ideas or additions.

Dan Savage, sex columnist, revolutionized the concept of public backlash by naming the foamy by-product of analsex after Senator Rick Santorum, who in April 2003 made a few particularly asinine comments regarding homosexuality.
Since then the phrase "santorum: that frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex" has been forced so successfully into the public lexicon a Google search for the word "Santorum" brings up the official site of the cause
http://www.spreadingsantorum.com/
in front of Senator Santorums own webpage.
It can be done.

I've just defined a "coulter" - it's equal to a dingleberry.
