At the Iowa caucuses, everyone is clamoring for attention -- and one woman stole it all.

During a live MSNBC broadcast of the event, a concerned voter made it to live TV and began to air her concerns. She got a little heated, as people do, and decided to drop everyone's favorite expletive.

"The fact that I haven't gotten benefits in three months because the VA is so f*cked really makes me concerned," the voter said.

It's hard to tell what's better -- when she says f*ck, or when someone follows it up with a very audible "oooh."

Technically, the FCC only prohibits obscenities on major broadcast networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox. MSNBC, as a cable news station, would not be subject to these regulations and subsequent heavy fines.

Still, decorum is expected. Later in the evening, the station offered a very well-mannered apology.

Whoa, Caucus "F" bomb dropped on @MSNBC "A bit of French that snuck in on our English translation," says Brian Williams, apologizing.— Chris Ariens (@ChrisAriens) February 2, 2016
