Fondling Stephen Colbert

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

    Ageism?

    I like Colbert and I like Fonda's acting skills and physical appearance. I thought it a little odd as well. Colbert clearly looked uncomfortable suggesting both shyness and perhaps a commitment to monogamy that is somewhat foreign and out of vogue today.

    All I can figure is that I was looking at her thinking that she has, indeed, aged (however gracefully) and that 60 somethings playing the role of the vamp just look silly. She's still a very attractive woman, but the girlish come on just seems out of place the way it would if Warren Beatty put my pants half way down his ass crack, donned a wife beater T and a hat on backwards and went trolling for young women half his age.
