Show Spelled [sen-sher]

Show IPA noun, verb, -sured, -sur·ing.
–noun 1. strong or vehement expression of disapproval: The newspapers were unanimous in their censure of the tax proposal.

2. an official reprimand, as by a legislative body of one of its members.

–verb (used with object) 3. to criticize or reproach in a harsh or vehement manner: She is more to be pitied than censured.

–verb (used without object) 4. to give censure, adverse criticism, disapproval, or blame.

So basically, "BAD Charlie! BAD! No biscuit!" He wanted a reprimand rather than censure. To me they're the same thing. I don't even think his pension is affected. Even if they put an asterisk next to his political history, so what?
