The social, cable and network media are all abuzz over Stephen Colbert's comment that President Trump's mouth was good as Putin's cock holster ... with many calling for Colbert's ouster for this "homophobic obscenity." First, I don't believe that this "joke" was homophobic. This argot is a well-known idiom in the gay community and was likely retrieved by one of his writers in a monologue creative session. Second, yes this line is obscene and, as such, the CBS network and Colbert's Late Show show producer should suffer any FCC financial repercussions for allowing this taped smut to go out on the air.
Obviously the Late Show is on late and doesn't have a large underage audience. But this comment became social-media viral and has since been seen by a great many little Johnnies and Janes. Therefore, some additional FCC wrist slapping might be in order ... maybe asking Colbert for a sincere social media apology ... if he could pull off eating such a big portion of crow. I kinda doubt it. I suspect that he would take it as an opportunity for even more mockery.
Instead, maybe Trump could counter in kind with a tweet suggesting that Colbert and his writers might be a little under the weather ... "cough sufferers" ... easier to get this "punny" passed our sleeping TV censors.
