Samantha Bee "CUNT" vs Stephen Colbert "DICK"

Here's the happy couple:

Over the past few days, one of them has been smiling a LITTLE more, because ONE of them is not being accused of using a DIRTY SLANG WORD against somebody famous.

Last night (June 7th), Stephen Colbert ran a few clips of Rudy Giuliani dismissing Stormy Daniels as just a porn star with no credibility. In her defense, Colbert said that Stormy might be a porn star, but Rudy Giuliani was just a "DICK."

ABC did not censor "DICK," and rightly, nobody seemed to bothered by this man-on-man insult. And it's late night TV when the kiddies are sleeping. A guy can call another guy a "DICK." What's the big deal?

The same day, Samantha Bee was once again in the news for returning to her late night show and once again apologizing for using a DIRTY SLANG WORD against somebody famous.

She added that she had used the word "CUNT" many times on her show, and not just to get a cheap laugh. She did it to "reclaim" the word, the same way, oh, gays reclaimed "queer" and proudly shout "We're here and we're QUEER."

Her network, WTBS, which also airs "CONAN," never censored the word "CUNT," any more than they censor Conan O'Brien when he says "SHIT."

But when Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a "feckless cunt" the shit hit the fan. Twitter exploded. There were calls for her to be fired. In other words, you can say "CUNT" on TV all you want, but not if you say it about somebody famous.

There seems to be a double standard here. "DICK" is a slang word. "CUNT" is a slang word. They both have been used, uncensored, on cable TV and in R-rated movies. But somehow, in this PC environment, "CUNT" is...dirtier?

"DICK" and "CUNT" go together.

If we believe in equality, then insulting a man (Rudy Giuliani) with a genital term and insulting a woman (Ivanka Trump) with a genital term, should not be treated differently.

Should Colbert be a target of outrage for saying "DICK?" No. And neither should Bee for using the "C-Word."

We're splitting pubic hairs? There's a difference between the most popular slang word for penis and the most popular slang word for vagina??

The situation of Colbert getting a pass while Bee gets everyone pissed, is truly FUCKED UP.

FUCK, by the way, has always been censored on both CBS late night talk shows and TBS late night talk shows.
