SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (ABC 4 News) - Jon Huntsman, apparently, can swear like a sailor.
Huntsman, in a recent article in a national magazine, is quoted as using a very bad word.
In the new issue of Esquire, there's a long article about Huntsman, Utah's former governor who's now running for president.
In the article, Huntsman talks about the death of Osama Bin Laden.
Huntsman is very angry that Bin Laden was hiding in plain sight in Pakistan.
In fact Huntsman, who's been to Pakistan, is quoted as saying,
"...I know their politics, and I was angry that this guy could be thirty miles north of Islamabad...that's just such
b-------, I can't even believe it."
For some, it may be surprising to hear that kind of word from someone with a strong LDS background.
Especially so, if you compare it to the other Mormon in the presidential race.
Mitt Romney has a reputation of being someone who doesn't swear.
Now, there was one alleged incident during Utah’s 2002 Olympics.
That's when reports surfaced that Romney may have said another bad word, but he denied it.
Although, this, perhaps, gives rise to some interesting questions.
Did Jon Huntsman swear on purpose just to show a national audience he's a regular guy who can cuss?
Or, did Huntsman swear to show he’s not like Romney?
Romney’s worst language, by the way, may be - as reported during Utah’s Olympics - when he says “H-E double hockey sticks.”
