Fondling Stephen Colbert

I couldn't watch when Jane Fonda sat on his lap and caressed the talk show host. Am I a prude?

    You miss the joke although Stephen did not

    Jane went right to the weakness of Stephen Colbert super pundit. He is not the macho, super male selling his sperm over the internet, he is actually a very intelligent funny man. It is the one and only time I have seen him come out of character, ever. He was completely befuddled, he knew it, Jane knew it. She was perfect. Hanoi Jane, turned super sex kitten totally destroying supermacho right wing pundit. She was perfect. Her talent is amazing. I find it hard to believe you are missing the big picture here. Think about it, who won that debate? Could she have been more effective defending the environment or arguing against the war?
