Stephen Colbert in Death Match with Black Barbie

A few weeks ago, Stephen Colbert had me on his show. He was trying to get me to confess the numerous ways that ACORN is working to undermine the principles of capitalism. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Now, you know I'd love to tell you everything about the interview, but I don't know what the editors are going to allow on the air, so how about I just share a few bits and pieces from the interview?

Right when I sat down and shook his hand he asked me if I'd helped any poor people that day, and I said, "Of course!" Then he took out his Purell, squirted it into his hands and told me that it was nothing personal, but "poor" seemed to be going around these days and he had a family to think about.

Then he tried to take down my information for the "census." His first question was "how many sexual partners have you had!" Now it seemed only fair that I got to take down his embarrassing information as well, so I took one of the forms from his lap and asked him just how many sexual partners he had had. You gotta tune in tonight to find out how we answered!

At this point he tried to call me out on ACORN's Grand Plan for Worldwide Socialism and the People's Fight Against Capitalism. He tried to get me to give up the secrets of how helping low-income citizens with affordable housing, registering the disenfranchised, and conducting a fair census is leading to a socialist takeover. Let's just say it got to the point where I took out a black Barbie doll, he took out a transformer and we just started dueling. Guess who won that fight?

Join me tonight to see for yourself!

I am one of Stephen's biggest fans, rarely miss a show, but I actually thought he was a bit "harsh" on this one. Not everyone gets his humor, and he played the "insensitive papa bear" to the T in this one. Still think he is wonderful though and understand that big heart behind his humor. Wish more people did.

Great show, Bertha!
Although, you KNOW meta-Colbert will now brag to everyone about his 'other' black friend. He swears he can't see the color of skin, but I think his character is just too republican't and is peeking between his fingers ...once in awhile.

There's no doubt a 'union' of poor and working-class people, organizing for the betterment of their communities, scares the he!! out of the republican'ts.


Good!

Love you and all the work you do. Cowards love to bully. A real hero make their mark on helping others.

That must've been fun. I hope Colbert doesn't get in trouble with Papa Bear O'Reilly.
