The government should not censure speech.
The fact that our outrage over this is ignored shows the massive double standard in this country. No jokes about bammy were allowed. This problem is serious and deeply rooted and isn’t going away.
The government has always censured speech across the public airwaves to maintain at least a moderate amount of decency. If Colbert wants to talk like he's in a sewer (and here on Arizona time, it's pretty darn close to being prime time viewing), then he needs to go join that greasy creep Bill Maher over on HBO. That's why cable is cable and mainstream TV is "mainstream."
