Colbert has no regrets: Late-night host defends controversial Trump Putin c*ck holster joke

10. That confused me, too.

The RW must hate Stephen Colbert because he skewers Trump - and everything he stands for - every night. That's why he's become so popular with the rest of us - starting with The Daily Show - and his memorable performance at the 2006 Washington Correspondents' Dinner. So for them to be calling for him to be fired because of homophobic remarks really is the height of irony. But I guess they'll use any excuse, they're not exactly known for honesty.

And I didn't happen to catch that monologue, only saw him - and his guest - addressing the fallout tonight. When someone posted the quote as the title of the monologue video here on DU, my first thought was that it was alertable, seriously expected it to be removed, not knowing it was what he had actually said.

Hopefully, this is a "teaching moment" for Colbert, since he has never been known for respecting boundaries - which is another reason he's become so popular. But this goes to show that those on the left have boundaries, too, no matter how much they despise the target.

Thanks for the further explanation - and those puppies were impossibly cute. Jim Parsons had pix of his own dog, a 13-year-old cutie.
