Removing One Word From These Political Headlines Makes Them Completely Disturbing

Presidential campaign headlines tend to be unremarkable. They disappoint readers desperate for attention-grabbing passages, desperate to read about the the lack of politically correct restraint they’ve become accustomed to seeing in go-for-the-gut political races.

In an effort to refine the skills of headline writers, TV anchormen and political pundits, The Huffington Post has randomly selected topical headlines and removed a single word from each. Participants are invited to workshop the headlines below by adding a punchy or emotive word, similar to the fill-in-the-blanks “Mad Libs” worksheets of school days past.

What a difference a word can make. Now get your mind out of the gutter, you sicko!

DISCLAIMER: This word game is not intended to encourage political mudslinging. Inferred sexual innuendos are coincidental and unintentional. Restraint should be exercised, as the power of gutter politics could be diminished from overuse.
