The B-word that rhymes with "witch"?

According to CNN, there's an argument about the fact that John McCain said "an exccelent question" responding to a woman who called Hillary Clinton "b*tch." I am not interested in talking with this issue politically. However, I wondered how many times the anchorman said "the B-word that rhymes with 'witch.'" This phrase really caught my attention.

Few Japanese people would concern much about rhyme. However, it plays a really important role in the English language. Phonics is somewhat relevant to it. And kids will play with it. Maybe one of the reasons few Japanese people hardly master native-language fluency in English might be that they don't try to think it is important.
