I think that's why he had him come back.

Has West or Dyson ever gone on Colbert up against the fake O'Reilly? Amiri Baracka aka Leroi Jones would be fun in that spot too because he can be so unhinged.chaunceydevegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652406326490873337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-69570089385515457202011-02-04T12:58:59.160-06:002011-02-04T12:58:59.160-06:00I think you're being too hard on Painter--afte...I think you're being too hard on Painter--after all, Colbert's schtick is to interrupt and contradict his guests, whereas Ferguson's interview of West was mostly just letting West be West.<br /><br />I agree with you in that Painter should have had a snappy 1-sentence description of her book ready to fly. But I'm not sure how much composure most of us would have in the face of an appearance on the Colbert Report. Painter showed that she could play along and that she has a sense of humor. She didn't come off badly--she just didn't really sell her book well at all.<br /><br />(I really wonder what her agent had to think about all this!)Historiannhttp://historiann.comnoreply@blogger.com
