On 'This Week with 'Christiane Amanpour' (Sunday, 11 AM ET on ABC) the panel was discussing the State of the Union address Barack Obama is scheduled to give Tuesday when veteran pundit George Will weighed in with some racy language.

"Every president, regardless of party, tries to stroke every erogenous zone in the electorate," Will explained.

"Oh my goodness!" cried out Amanpour, as Paul Krugman and Matthew Dowd smirked in the background.

For his part, Will kept speaking as though he hadn't said anything out of the ordinary.

Will happened to be wearing a necktie, rather than the bow-tie he is famous for, when he made the R-rated analogy. So, perhaps this is just what happens when Will sports more adventurous attire.

Christiane Amanpour's long-awaited arrival at ABC has finally been nailed down: According to Variety, 'This Week with Christiane Amanpour' will officially debut Sun., Aug. 1.

The CNN veteran was tapped in March to replace George Stephanopoulos on ABC News' 'This Week.' According to the report, the August start date will allow Amanpour some time to get comfortable in the hosting seat before the midterm elections heat up. Jake Tapper has hosted the program in the interim.

"I leave CNN with the UTMOST respect, love and admiration for the company and everyone who works here," Amanpour said in a statement from March 2010. "This has been my family and shared endeavor for the past 27 years and I am forever grateful and proud of all that we have accomplished."
