The Colbert TMZ Report

Although politics usually dominates "The Colbert Report," it was TMZ's Miss USA coverage getting the spotlight last night.

Heralding our site as "the only place I go for a minute-by-minute update on Clay Aiken's vertigo," Stephen Colbert gave a beating to Tara Conner's scandalous run as Miss USA, highlighting her make-out sessions with Miss Teen USA. Colbert joked that their actions were "completely inappropriate" and "disgusting" --after being told he couldn't see the photos of the two kissing.

OK, Stephen, now you can report on us reporting on you reporting on us!

18. The Miss USA pageant is living proof why Hugo Chavez called President Bush "The Devil" at his United Nations speech some time back. Miss USA pageant slogan "Where the inmates run the asylum."

20. Sometimes I log on to this site to see if there is ANYBODY out there who has something insightful or profound to say (Humourous is also nice). But the very strange people who only kinda skim a story and then go off on their agenda, like they are going to CHANGE MINDS, by using just the "Cap Lock" button or their very simplistic world view. Takes me back to when I was in high school Latin class and I realized I hadn't a clue what the teacher was talking about, and DIDN"T FU*CKING CARE!
Thank you, one and all!

23. I have to agree: That was a particularly interesting "Colbert Report." But the "Colbert Report" episode that people on Capitol Hill are still talking about is the "Colbert Report" in which Congresswoman Sherri Davis, R-CA, was a guest, and she and Stephen Colbert were talking in the unisex bathroom while fighting for mirror space, and Congesswoman Sherri Davis made a few excessively candid remarks about Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, caling him a "Ludicrous Larry" and a "Peter Pan Panderer." The link to this is below, but here's a short summary:

Headline: In Unintentionally Broadcast Remarks, Congresswoman Sherri Davis (R-CA) Calls Mitt Romney a "Peter Pan Panderer" and a "Ludicrous Larry"


2006-11-25 21:38:00 - Kyra Phillips incident is unintentionally reprised as conservative legislator mocks her Republican colleague on camera for "trying to play the gay card twice"


New York, NY (USNEWS) November 26, 2006 -- In an apparently unintentional reprise of CNN reporter Kyra Phillips' highly publicized on-air bathroom remarks broadcast live on CNN earlier this year, Congresswoman Sherri Davis, R-CA, was caught on tape today in the bathrooms of "The Colbert Report" calling Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney a "Peter Pan panderer" who has become "obsessed with homosexuality -- and not in a good way."

Davis, known as the "Ann Coulter of Anaheim" for her fierce opposition to flag-burning and illegal immigrants and her unyielding support of the American family, made the remarks in response to news that Romney had filed a lawsuit Friday asking his state's highest court to order the Massachusetts state legislature to vote on a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage or to place it on the 2008 ballot if lawmakers do not take up the provision.

Davis apparently thought her mike had not yet been turned on as she and "Colbert Report" host Stephen Colbert shared a mirror in the studio's unisex bathroom prior to her scheduled interview. Colbert's top-ranked "The Colbert Report" is a frequent stopping-off point for Republican policymakers passing through New York.

In her extremely candid remarks, Davis labeled Romney a "Ludicrous Larry" for asking his state's "activist judges" to help him "play the gay card twice."

"The Republican play book says it's okay to play the gay card once, and in fact we encourage it," said Davis, a fiscal conservative who chairs the House Entertainment Committee. "But to attempt to play the gay card twice in the same state is a recipe for disaster. I mean, look what just happened in Ohio -- the whole state, right down the toilet."

For Romney to be asking the state's activist judges to force the issue onto the state ballot creates the impression that Romney has an "unhealthy obsession with homosexuality -- and not in a good way," said Davis in her controversial remarks, adding that he risks being labeled a "Peter Pan Panderer" and a "Ludicrous Larry."

24. It seem's that everyone has forgotten that it is illegal to sell alcoholic beverage's to underage person's, no matter WHO they are! Just because they happen to have won a beauty contest doesn't make them an exception to the law. Have you heard of the bar's that sold to them getting any reprimand of any kind?

25. I guess some people just can't handle his "truthiness" LOL! The Colbert Report is awesome. Don't worry, Steve. You'll be able to see all the action in the video "Girls Gone Wild - Pagent Poon".

26. Do not respond to Farrah or whatever this person is. Just trying to get people to bite on the black race card. Ignore this simpleton!

28. Sorry to have to break this to you, but Colbert was not "heralding" your site. He was chiding your superfluousness for reporting on superfluous "news."

29. If they had the final three girls make out to see who would win Ms. USA you are sure I would watch . Nothing gets my Nelson vote like young girls cleaning each others teeth with their tongues . Dickheads . How about a talent show where we can see who can drink the most ? I know the Man Show wore it out but is the pageant setting it might fly . We could even give them jello shots . Dickheads .
