4. He was priceless

and I have to give the host a lot of credit for not just blubbering. So have I..? She was probably just filling dead air but it was golden.

Did you hear the people in the back laughing at it? Now I guess the morning shows will have to go on 10 second delay.

[CLANG]

28. And then meredith admitted to twating too!

[Wetzelbill]

2. I like how she says "So have I" lol

[underpants]

3. Ha!

I think that is a TV host instinct thing to just say something when they aren't sure what just happened--not let it just hang there

:rofl:

at the end a cringing "Oh My GOD"

COlbert looked like a little kid who just cursed in church... :rofl:
but it is Colbert so we know have "Twatted"

Twatted is in the urban dictionary-it means to get your ass kicked but not anymore :bounce:

34. To anyone who has lived in Britain, it has quite different meanings

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twat
The word twat has various functions, its primary meaning being a vulgar synonym for the human vulva, vagina, or clitoris.<1> It is also widely used as a derogatory epithet, especially in British English. The word is usually considered vulgar in all contexts.

Origins

The word possibly originates from the Old Norse þveit meaning cut, slit, or forest clearing.<1>

Historical usage

Robert Browning famously misused the term in his 1841 poem "Pippa Passes", believing it to be an item of nun's clothing:<2>

Then owls and bats
Cowls and twats
Monks and nuns in a cloister's moods
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry

[Eugenian]

35. It means the same

in America.

[FightingIrish]

5. After eight years of an idiot butchering the English language

isn't it great to have Stephen Colbert to enhance it?

[sharp_stick]

6. Wait for the RW outrage

we had months of it following the staged outing of Janet Jacksons starburst nipple, now we have Stephen Colbert uttering profanities on air. I sense an email bomb from the AFA and FOTF and every other whacko fundie organization that can coherently set up an email generator, perhaps quiverfull will have something too now.

I love nothing more than pissing off the religious right and Colbert is a genius at it.

[underpants]

7. They tend not to touch Colbert

Stewart for that matter either

Those two are way to smart for them and attacking them just draws attention to what they are doing and they do NOT want that

[sharp_stick]

8. I know

my reply was kind of botched. I meant it as kind of a sarcastic screed and it came out dumb. I should never go for sarcastic screed when I have a sick 4 year old keeping me up late the night before.

[The Doctor.]

30. BTDT.

Nothing twists the wit like shattered sleep patterns, and the anxiety over a sick little one.

[burning rain]

9. No doubt that's it.

They fear the guns of satire and of snark being levelled on them.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. Exactly .......

Bullies always go after the weak and/or the defenseless.

For that very reason, they don't dare take on either of those two guys.

They'd end up as sausage - if they were lucky.

29. But Tucker Carlson did go after Stewart last week, defending Cramer.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

32. He did,

and he looked like sausage. I laughed so hard when reading the comments after his piece at thedailybeast.com. He found no sympathy there. They were priceless.

Carlson's still smarting, since Stewart put him out of business with his visit to Carlson and Begala's show, when he so accurately characterized dear Tucker as a "dick."

So, with that dailybeast piece, Carlson turned himself into sausage yet again.................

12. Love,love,love that pic!!!! n/t

[whathehell]

17. How about not using women's body parts as slurs?...

It's an ugly, oppressive practice.

[thesquanderer]

24. special treatment?

I don't think women's body parts are used as slurs any more often than male (calling someone a dick, a prick, etc.)... probably less. Then there are the unisex body parts (a**shole). Should women get special treatment and have their parts excluded? Or should all these words be banned? Or am I just being a boob?

[whathehell]

31. Yeah, you might not think so...but it amounts to the difference in impact between

a white person calling a black person a n*gger, and a black person calling a white one a "honky" or something.

The much greater social power of whites over blacks -- Like the social AND physical power of men over women -- makes them non-equivalent.

[Quantess]

36. Is it true that you're a dude?

I thought the Today show clip was hilarious. I was not offended in the slightest.

[liberal N proud]

13. I am surprised that got past the censors

And Colbert just sat there while everyone went crazy.

[underpants]

22. Live TV

no delay

Good thing he didn't say "I have twat"

[tomm2thumbs]

14. even HE had to laugh - totally unprepared it seems to me - LMAO!!

Have you twatted today?

[yodermon]

15. Reminds me of my favorite Fawlty Towers episode:

[stlsaxman]

23. i also loved "Farty Towels"

hahahah!

[WhoIsNumberNone]

16. Not a new word...

"Twatted"- British blue-collar slang for being very drunk.

Also listed in the Urban Dictionary:

[underpants]

21. ...

Why do you hate America so?

[FightingIrish]

25. I think he meant to say "twattered"

Twattering is, I think, what teenagers are doing with their cell phone cameras.

[lib2DaBone]

18. I don't like Meredith Viera...Never have ...never will....

..she is a major tune-out factor.

27. What else would the past perfect of "tweet" be?

Twits.

[BeliQueen]

33. It's always good to start the day with a laugh.

And that was side-splittingly funny. His expression is classic.

[amyrose2712]

37. HAHAHA! nt

[Ladyhawk]

38. Gotta love me some Stephen Colbert in the morning. nt
