Who wants to make the next SOTU rebuttal speech?

Ya think somebody would figure out that answering the Prez at the SOTU is like taking a spring loaded jump seat over an icy dunking tank. One victim after another bites the dirt!

He's trying to look like an idiot. They'd never let him close. He would reveal too much.

...for me to see Stephen Colbert interview the representatives from Occupy. They really did not know. Really. They wanted to show it to me, because they loved how Stephen "ran over" the interviewees.

I had to watch it with them and explain what Colbert was doing. And I kept on asking them, "Would somebody really do (or say) that?"

And they had to admit that they hadn't seen it anywhere else. "That's a clue!" I said. It really took a while (and patience) to get them across. They never mentioned Colbert again.
