I couldn't watch when Jane Fonda sat on his lap and caressed the talk show host. Am I a prude?
  • I think you are jealous :)

    Like you, I love Stephen Colbert for his wonderful performance before Bush last year. His obvious embarassment with Fonda throws into even sharper relief his courage and talent at the Press Club dinner. I'm not much of a Fonda fan. I've always found her a little self-absorbed--trying to find oneself at 30 is one thing, but by the last autobiography, shouldn't she have been over her dad?

    I don't think he was in on the joke, and that's what made it funny, both for my husband and me. And when he invoked the presence of his wife, it made me realize yet again how silly this family values argument is--as if someone can't be decent and faithful and a liberal.
