How do we deal with markets with "highly" subjective language?

Recently some markets (especially in the political arena) have been found using pretty blatant subjective language. Here's and example:

http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/Will_t...

The above market had stated "Will the Traitor Carter meet with Hamas officials in Syria by the end of April 2008?" I edited the market to say "Will Jimmy Carter meet with Hamas officials, in Syria, by the end of April, 2008?"

This was done to remove the contentious and subjective language in the market. "Traitor Carter" is subjective and its inclusion would only lead to unnecessary arguments between differing view points on the man, but not actually related to the market question.

So the rule amendment would be: "All questions must use objective language." So a market such as the "Traitor Carter" one would be formally disallowed because of it's subjective language.

How do people feel about this rule change? This is certainly a rule amendment we should discuss to work out all the kinks before we incorporate it into the rule book
Inappropriate?
