Well, the CBS execs must be big GOP contributors. Still.
But, maybe this was our best chance not to see a 4 to 1 ratio of bag-of-wind GOP senators to Democrats on Face the Nation.
This is great news for John McCain.
Good. The dangerous repubs want to destroy all talk they donât like. This is very dangerous for our country.
Why is it great news for McCain?
Nice. The twits that organized the âoutrageâ to the FCC should have just stuck with the tried-and-true boycott threat of the show (although they all profess to not watch it) and their outcries would have been duly noted and we would have moved on. NOW they âlostâ which probably just fueled their perceived rage against the âcultureâ.
McCain seems to be booked more than any GOPer on the Sunday shows. It 's somewhat of a running joke here. Also when McCain ran for president, whatshisname Halperin was constantly saying that this or that occurrence was âgreat news for John McCainâ regardless of whether said occurrence was a boon or disaster. Also a running joke, although a very old one.
Like me.
the FCC wonât fine him because they have a sense of humor and think itâs funny tooâŚ
The person who wrote that terrible joke deserves some sort of fine.
Not for indecency; just for writing a terrible joke.
I still use it all the time. Irritates the hell out of my wife⌠
Well, itâs an ill windâŚ
Maybe Donnie being recently treated for a Russian strain of a certain venereal disease helped Colbertsâ case?
If theyâre going after obscenity, theyâd have to fine the news shows something fierce for all the members of this administration they feature.
The agency found that the joke, which involved Trump, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and a crude word for penis, did not warrant punishment.
Like most of us, they laughed when they heard it. And they recognized the truth in it.
Too bad the Presidentâs budget has already been released, otherwise he might try and add another bomber to the DOD by eliminating the âsadâ FCC that doesnât serve a purpose anymore.
I watched that show, and the networked bleeped it. Or at least they did on the West Coast playing⌠the FCC wouldnât have grounds to fine himâŚ
âJokeâ? I thought Colbert was reporting the news there.
I watched it from the West Coast. I saw a grey blob circle over his mouth and the words were bleeped out. So the FCC in this instance was acting as the personal servant of the orange thing.
If we canât say something that irritates our wives why get out of bed.
If the FCC lets pussy grabbing discussions slide, they could hardly attack Colbert for his penis joke.
I love Colbert, but this investigation shouldnât piss anybody off. The FCC was doing its job. And honestly, I think a (small) fine would have been appropriate. It wasnât just crass, it crossed the line toward homophobia that is not helpful. I donât think Stephen would have made too big of a stink about paying it either. People make mistakes.
