"MICKEY Rourke," reports the Post, "says calling somebody a 'fag' is OK in his book." Apparently, it's OK in the Post's book as well, because they repeat the word three more times. All, to be sure, in the context of Rourke's quotes. Interestingly, they choose to "bleep" out what we're assuming is either "jerk" or "fuck," and they resort to spelling out "ass." (In another Page Six item, "pissed" or "pooped" gets the "p—-" treatment.). Still, "fag" is just fine, so long as someone else is saying it. No word yet on "cocksucker," but maybe Betty White will do an interview soon.
