Jenny McCarthy Spews Bad Word on Live TV

Don't mess with Jenny McCarthy when it comes to autism. Last night on Larry King Live on CNN, while sparring with doctors on the issue, she let slip a bad word, commonly abbreviated as "BS."

McCarthy believes some common vaccinations (and the number of vaccinations administered to children at an early age) can cause autism in children. The doctors disagreed with her on the point.

CNN reportedly did not bleep out the word during the show's midnight/ET rebroadcast. — J.R. Whalen

That is what we call a fleeting expletive.

Yes, achyfakey, outside the reach of the FCC's language police.

Hmmm...medical experts, sex kitten...who am I going to believe when it comes to medical issues?

I guess when you don't have facts on your side (or education to recognize facts), you resort to cursing your opponent out...LOL...

There is a medical expert on the panel agreeing with her. Not just sex kitten. Person with child who has autism.

Jenny McCarthy may be a sex kitten, BUT she has certainly done her homework for the sake of her own son who has been diagnosed with autism. She works very hard trying to find a cure! I don't care if she said B--- S--- or anything else for that matter! It just tells me she is very passionate about this cause!

She's just wrong. There's been extensive studies on this, and they're pretty conclusive: vaccines don't cause autism. It is just not so. I feel for her and her child, but she shouldn't go out and scare people away from vaccines. Billions of people are alive today because of vaccines, and it is extremely important that kids get the shots. This kind of misinformation is really harmful.

i think the "slip" is no biggie here...and she's not saying immunizations are bad..but that they don't need to give as many as early in a child's life.
AND, trying to get them to take the mercury & other poisons out the the immunizations they are injecting into our children.
SHOULD be pretty simple to understand
