We knew Jane Fonda was a dirty bird (Stephen Colbert KissGate, anyone?), but this morning on the Today Show, the actress let a little four-letter word slip that would even make notorious early morning F-Bomb dropper Diane Keaton blush. Chatting with Meredith Vieira and Vagina Monologues playwright Eve Ensler, Mer made the mistake of asking Hanoi Jane a question about how she initially got involved with the play. But before anyone could decipher her mouthful of an answer (and before confused producers could figure out which camera she felt like looking into at that particular moment), we heard one of the more distasteful terms for ladyflowers erupt from jumpy Jane's mouth.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your predilection for jarring early morning euphemisms for the female reproductive system), this faux pas will surely be cut from the West Coast feed this morning. But thanks to the magic of TiVo, we were able to capture it in all its glory for you. It's a Valentine's Day Miracle!

No one even batted an eye at the C word. More egregious: Eve Ensler identified as a "playwrite."
Eh, that was overhyped. I was hoping it was part of her everyday vocabulary.
That being said, I'm loving this old lady nasty talk in the morning. What wonders feminism has brought us!
@Morningstar: Crap, I didn't see that! What a grammatical horror!
Hey if Jane says it on national Tv and there's no reaction then it's no longer a 'dirty word'.
Thank you, Jane! ^_^
That's one of the seven words! As George Carlin used to say, even in a Disney movie you can say "Snatch that pussy and put it in a box."
Hey, that's "Juicy C**t" to you!!
She obviously meant it in the less offensive British way. Slag.
Atonement reference
"Born-Again Christians Gone Wild!"
"getting vagina out of my mouth...." Perhaps a mint would help?
Whew! What a relief, now that we have got that out of the way can we start using it on a more regular basis when necessary?
Possibly even more than turning Katherine Heigl into a household word more irritating than itching powder, I hate 'Grey's Anatomy' for inflicting that silly, silly word 'vajayjay' on America.
@gwendolyn: I can't really blame them considering the show's writers claimed ABC didn't like them using the word 'vagina' so much.
At least it was in some sort of context, I was afraid she and Meredith had a set-to.
yawn. The media reaction to this is an over-reaction. It's not like she called somebody a c-word, or something worth noting.
Eve Ensler thinks she's Betty Page....
Speaking of the Colbert/Fonda Kiss-Gate, did anyone else catch Stephen's reference to Ms. Fonda last night on the Report? Something tells me Jane won't be doing anymore lap dances on his show any time soon.
What a silly James Blunt...
Well, the monologue IS called "Cunt."
Jane singlehandedly turned V day into C day.
