Signs of The Times

In today's Times2, Richard Morrison reports on Maurice Sendak calling 'the novelist Salman Rushdie' (not the Salman Rushdie who stacks shelves down the ASDA) a 'flaccid fuckhead'.

At least, I assume that's what Sendak called him. What it says in the Times is 'f***head'. Which is only right and proper, because one wouldn't want decent Times-reading folk coughing up their porridge because someone called someone else a fuckhead. Perish the thought.

Morrison's own headline, though, reads: 'I can take criticism, but not from a flaccid $*!?%*&# like you.' Which mal mot is he talking about now? And do the two asterisks stand for the same letter?
