Colbert Is 'Queen For The Day' At Olympic Pride House

In between public tapings attended by thousands, Steven Colbert made an almost secret visit to Vancouver's Olympic Pride House on Thursday night. In front of about two dozen people gathered to watch hockey on TV, he bantered with Jennifer Breakspear, the director of the centre.

In the interview, Colbert asked whether LGBT was "a kind of sandwich," talked about kissing male hockey players, and explored double entendres.

They also discussed new uses for Olympic pride pins. When Breakspear told him the pride pin she gave him would make him queer for a day, Colbert asked if he was "queen for a day."

The footage will air on the Colbert Report.

Stephen is courageous. He has a great sense of right and wrong.

I encourage everyone to drop by the Whistler Olympic Pride house. I just interviewed Dean Nelson, the executive director of Pride House the other day. See it here and then take a virtual walk around pride house and Whister at http://blog.virtualwhistler.com/?p=344

Colbert is fantastic! And by the way, it's spelt 'Stephen'. With a 'ph'.

I agree! Colbert rocks! Good catch by the way... and "Spelt" is an ancient grain.

Spelt:

spelt: (spělt) v. A past tense and a past participle of spell

So spelt is correct, just depends what part of the world you're from.

I love Colbert and I love Canadians. This from "The Canadian Press"
"'I can neither confirm nor deny that reality,' quipped Colbert, dressed casually in a black sweater and blue jeans, a real change from the Brooks Brothers suits favoured by his character of the same name, a dim-witted right-wing pundit."

There you go, a fresh perspective from outside our nation-- dim-witted right-wing pundit.
