Saying Cunt is forgivable. In fact, some of the Cunts at FCC need to get over themselves with their pussy restrictions. Believe me, Americans can take it, given the language I hear every day. But her actions in the Vietnam era, and this from someone who was against the war at the time were totally unforgivable. There is a right way and a wrong way to protest. The wrong way is to give aid and comfort to the enemy. So let me say it again. Cunt, Cunt, Cunt.

Diane Keaton said fuck on GMA a few weeks ago...maybe this is all some sort of weird contest between aging female stars from the 70's...i'm looking forward to Marsha Mason and Jill Clayburgh doing some sort of dueling Tourette Syndrome fueled dialogue on CBS This Morning in the coming weeks...or just give Faye Dunaway her own reality show; she IS the craziest woman on the planet!

It is the feminist N-word, a much more powerful symbol for the vagina than pussy. Pussy conjures images of a weak and soft cat. Cunt is powerful and dangerous

Someone's getting a fine today!

How is saying "cunt" in the context of it being the TITLE OF THE SCENE SHE'S DOING offensive than that lady on the View who's so fucking self-involved that she doesn't know the world is round or that people lived on earth before Jesus?

I mean, it's clear that Julie Chen has one because she shines the knob of Les Moonves on a daily basis.

I also wonder how Mr. Big Blond Gay Weatherman on "Good Morning America" got HIS job. More knobshining I suspect.

Poor Meredith Vieira. Here she thought she'd heard the last of "cunt" when Star Jones left "The View", but it's haunting her still.....

Check history, Viet Vets never lost a battle, nor did they the war. They are among the most honorable to serve. The treatment they received gives them every right to hate an old treasonous bitch like Jane Fonda. More than her use of the C word, is her complete monopolization of the interview. As with most of her ilk, she wants it to be all about her, she could care less about a cause, unless she is the cause.
