A wonderful idea, a coarse word that detracts from it

CFO Alex Sink is starting a think tank patterned after the Brookings Institution, focused on Florida.

Wonderful idea!

However, the story below quotes sink using the word "suck" as a pejorative ("losing sucks"). That's coarse. It's also homophobic, as any middle schooler knows.

Please, Ms. Sink, clean up your act -- such vulgarisms are all too common in our society today. If you're ever going to use "suck" as a pejorative again, please use a funny noun, as in "sucks Republicans!" Or "sucks elephants."
