Hillary seeking the "Colbert bump"
She's scheduled to appear on The Colbert Report tonight.
It's been taped already, as reported here.
I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
“Are you telling me there is no one in this theater who can fix the mess we’re in?” Mr. Colbert said.
Enter Mrs. Clinton, who strode out on stage, smiling.
“I can,” she said. “I can, Stephen!”
After pausing for applause, Mrs. Clinton said, “Let me handle this,” and squinted up into some imaginary rafters to talk a technician through the problem.
Then she moved onto the issue of Mr. Colbert’s appearance.
“You know what, Stephen?” she said. “Your forehead is a little shiny. Makeup! Makeup! Can we get some translucent powder, please?”
Mr. Colbert said in mock amazement, “Wow, Senator Clinton! You’re so prepared for any situation!”
Mrs. Clinton replied, “That’s O.K., Stephen. I just love solving problems.”
John Edwards will also be making an appearance on stage, and Barack Obama will be on via satellite.
(I still think a "Colbert bump" sounds like what you get when you're expecting a little Colbert.)
