Samantha Bee and the "C-word".

It really doesn't matter if she apologized -- or if she didn't. The word is out in circulation and can only wait to fade into the mist.

Attorneys do it all the time with juries. They often say stuff, knowing it's improper and they will be rebuked and the words stricken from the Record. But the jury still heard it. (You can't un-ring the bell.) And it's in the subconscience of the jurors.

And Samantha Bee's choice of word will be forgotten as soon as the newest outrage appears.

What, we have to be perfect angels so that the racists can't distract the spin cycle away from their own racism?

Fuck that.

You call them out on their hypocrisy, that is the playbook. The party that is a half-step away from the Handmaid's Tale doesn't get to express an opinion about the treatment of women.
