Time to fire up 1800 Clay Tzadik?
Our favorites from last year keep hitting the news… in the past week, it was Amy Winehouse. This week, half of our best people take on our favorite show:
Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the Democratic Caucus chairman, has told new Democratic members of Congress to steer clear of Stephen Colbert, or at least his satirical Comedy Central program, “The Colbert Report.”
“He said don’t do it … it’s a risk and it’s probably safer not to do it,” said Rep. Steve Cohen. But the freshman lawmaker from Tennessee taped a segment that last week was featured in the 32nd installment of the “Better Know a District” series. Colbert asked Cohen whether he was a black woman. He isn’t.
Sounds like somebody should be getting ready to apologize to Colbert during the Days of Awe.
