Colbert Won't Tell Us How to Get to Socialist Sesame Street

TresSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0800

Last night Stephen Colbert took on Sesame Street, the "most insidious socialist brainwashing program in our nation's history," on its 40th anniversary. When not condemning SS for indoctrinating children with a love of learning and showing adorable clips, he calls out Grover for allowing kids to think marriage is just between two people and the legalization of Bert-and-Ernie marriages.

Colbert's Solution For the "Pre-existing Condition" Conundrum

TresSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:30:00 -0700

Forget going to your reps on Capitol Hill to remind them that a woman is not a preexisting condition. So what if a toddler who barely has preexistence is denied health insurance because, at a healthy weight of 22 pounds, she's deemed too skinny? Leave the poor health insurance companies aloooone! They just want a return on their investment, after all. As Stephen Colbert says, you wouldn't buy a banana with spots on it, would you? And anyway, he has a solution. Just breed the insurable with the insurable! That way, ~~everyone~~ healthcare providers win!

Heidi and Seal Get Schooled Together in LA

Molly — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:00:00 -0700

Heidi Klum draped her baby bump in a chic dress at the Get Schooled initiative conference hosted by Bill and Melinda Gates and their foundation in LA last night. Heidi looked especially happy considering she had Seal as her date for the event after recently talking about her "gentle giant" husband and her body in the final month of pregnancy. Her due date is right around the corner but she has three other kids to remind her of the importance of education especially during back to school time.

Oh Snap! Operation Iraqi Stephen

TresSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:00:24 -0700

This week, The Colbert Report will broadcast straight from Camp Victory in Iraq - a camp whose name sounds like something Stephen came up with himself. At yesterday's taping of "Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando," 300 servicemembers looked on as Stephen got an army haircut from Gen. Ray Odierno. According to audience members, the faux pundit did not tone down any of the truthiness or biting satire for the troops. I'm not surprised. Will you tune in tonight?

Do, Dump, or Marry: Stephen Colbert

TresSugar — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:00:00 -0700

So technically, Stephen Colbert's already married, but we can dream. Stephen is a man of many talents. Not only does he star in his nightly comedy show, he's also a Sunday school teacher, and soon-to-be guest editor of Newsweek magazine. It's hard not to find a smart and funny man sexy, right? Is Stephen doing anything for you?

Meghan McCain and Stephen Colbert Have a Sex Talk

TresSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 10:00:00 -0700

Meghan McCain went on The Colbert Report last night to talk sex and the Republican Party. She sounded optimistic about the party's future, saying she's a prosex, pro-life woman and a pro-gay-marriage Republican. Of course, Stephen asked her what incentive he would have to get married if can just gay-marry and "hang out with dudes" all the time.

While she took a slam at Briston Palin's "abstinence tour," she maintained there is one thing about the campaign she won't comment on - Sarah Palin. Not even when Stephen asked her to comment on that comment!
