Here is one of the Canadians. Looks like it's OK to call someone a "moron" if you have a habit of using the word. So if Bush calls another reporter an "a$$hole" the press secretary will simply say "he uses that word all the time, getoverit" Chretien didn't want to lose such a good mouthpiece. PRAGUE (CP) - Prime Minister Jean Chrétien refused today to accept the resignation of his embattled communications director, Francoise Ducros, over her alleged remark that U.S. President George W. Bush is a "moron." Chrétien said Ducros had apologized to him for the furore sparked by a conversation she had with a journalist at the NATO summit in Prague. "She was graceful enough to offer me her resignation," the prime minister said. "I have not accepted that." Ducros, who did not appear at the news conference in Prague, told Chrétien she couldn't recall whether she made the remark but acknowledged she frequently uses the word "moron," Chrétien said. "I know her very well," the prime minister told reporters. "She may have used that word against me a few times and I am sure she used it against you many times. It's a word she uses regularly."
