The FCC will not take any action in response to complaints over a May 1 broadcast of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” in which the host quipped during his opening monologue that “the only thing [Trump’s] mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c— holster.”
The FCC received thousands of complaints following the broadcast. In response to an inquiry, an FCC spokesman provided a statement on the status of its review.
“Consistent with standard operating procedure, the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau has reviewed the complaints and the material that was the subject of these complaints,” the FCC statement said. “The Bureau has concluded that there was nothing actionable under the FCC’s rules.”
The Right Wing really went after Colbert hard on this one.
They even comically suggested that his remarks were homophobic.
Unfortunately for them after "teh gays" stopped laughing their asses off, they responded with "No, not at all."
Personally I hope that every other late night comic sees this and is emboldened to make their own obscene, yet totally accurate, remarks about Donald Trump.
And if they want to see how that is done they simply have to watch the master at work.
God I love that clip.
Colbert is a genius! Makes for quite a visual:

TRUMP AVOIDED THE DRAFT SO HE MAY HAVE NEVER HEARD "LOOSE LIPS SINKS SHIPS"
ReplyDeleteIn Trump's case, sinks submarines.
Buzzfeed:
The Pentagon Can’t Believe Trump Told Another President About Nuclear Subs Near North Korea
“We never talk about subs!” three defense officials told BuzzFeed News after a transcript of a call between President Trump and Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte was published
Pentagon officials are in shock after the release of a transcript between President Donald Trump and his Philippines counterpart reveals that the US military had moved two nuclear submarines towards North Korea
“We never talk about subs!” three officials told BuzzFeed News, referring to the military's belief that keeping submarines' movement stealth is key to their mission.
While the US military will frequently announce the deployment of aircraft carriers, it is far more careful when discussing the movement of nuclear submarines. Carriers are hard to miss, and that in part, is a reason the US military deploys them. They are a physical show of forces. Submarines are, at times, a furtive complement to the carriers, a hard-to-detect means of strategic deterrence.
According to a transcript of the call, released Wednesday, Trump called Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte April 29 to discuss, in part, the rising threat from North Korea. During that call, while discussing ways to mitigate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s nuclear ambitions, Trump said: “We have two submarines – the best in the world – we have two nuclear submarines – not that we want to use them at all. I’ve never seen anything like they are but we don’t have to use this but [Kim] could be crazy so we will see what happens.”...

He just gave away Naval secrets to the head of a foreign country, what happens when the dictator decides to make a call to the dictator in NK?
DeleteTreason
My father is a retired Naval Officer and said the same thing about loose lips and you never talk about the subs.
DeleteWhen are they going to perform a colostomy and shut little donnie up!! First, he gives intelligence to the russians, now he is blabbing naval secrets to a dictator that could put them in danger.
Why worry about ISIS, when we have Mr. Diarrhea of the Mouth in the W. H.
My husband was on the Parche for 6 years before we met and married. We've been married for 20 years. he does not ever tell me about his missions during the cold war, no matter how much and his sons try. That is how secret they were/are now again. All we know is that it was espionage and he was very young and would not do it today if he knew how dangerous, for realz, it was.
DeleteColbert is my favorite show to watch and he now has the highest ratings of all the guys he competes!
ReplyDeleteLove his take on Trump especially!
And you know how many thousands of complaints they had??? 7,500. Talk about p*ssies!

Republican candidate 'body-slams' Guardian reporter in Montana
Audio obtained of Greg Gianforte attacking a reporter on the eve of a special election to fill a congressional seat vacated by a member of the Trump administration
Well, it was bleeped so you'd have to have been in the audience to be adequately outraged.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, you are simply GUESSING at what he said.
So I guess we know what gutter their minds are in.
Colbert is protected by the First Amendment. Granted the FCC has more restrictions on top of that, but basically he didn't do anything worse than many others. Just a little liberal opinion designed to troll the right and they bit down hard. I'll pass on suggesting what they can wash that defeat down with.
Like Colbert didn’t have it reviewed by attorneys before he said it on air.
ReplyDeletePerhaps so. Certainly Trump and his associates ("any of 'em, all of 'em") could benefit from what an ordinary non-elected citizen's lawyer might have to say about civil rights and the Constitution.
DeleteThey coulda saved a lot of taxpayer's money on that issue, just sayin'.
