Emanuel vs. Colbert
Jonathan Kaplan of The Hill reports that Rep. Emanuel is urging newly elected members of Congress to steer clear of Colbert:
“He said don’t do it … it’s a risk and it’s probably safer not to do it,” said Rep. Steve Cohen. But the freshman lawmaker from Tennessee taped a segment that last week was featured in the 32nd installment of the “Better Know a District” series. Colbert asked Cohen whether he was a black woman. He isn’t.
I have to admit, I have always wondered why a congressperson would put him or herself in the Colbert grinder.
