Super Tuesday is upon us tomorrow, right between Marvelous Monday and Wonderful Wednesday. Stephen will be providing coverage of the event, so I can hardly wait. He pointed out that there are only 23 hours 58 minutes 51 seconds on the Countdown to Loving Mitt clock. Everyone had better get ready!
Stephen talked about contraception tonight, which led right into the big news of the day, that of Rush Limbaugh and his choice of words when describing Sandra Fluke.
I was going to type all the other things Rush said here, but lots of those words don't appear on my keyboard, so you'll just have to go over to Colbert Nation tomorrow and watch online to hear all the different ways Rush could come up with to keep insulting her. It appears Rush has no concept of the how a birth control pill works. He seems to think it is just like Viagra where you take a pill each time you have sex. You can't blame Rush, though. Stephen explained that every time Rush has sex with a woman, he's had to slip her a pill first.
The media has been reporting this story and so the Republican candidates have been asked to repudiate what Rush said.
Rick Santorum: "He's being absurd but that's you know an entertainer can be absurd."
Mitt Romney: "I'll just say this, which is, it's not the language I would have used..."
Twelve advertisers have pulled their advertising from Rush but Stephen doesn't think Rush should have apologized for the words he used to describe Sandra Fluke. After all, "it takes one to know one." Apparently he (Rush) only apologized to keep his advertisers proving Rush will do anything with his mouth to keep his cash.
The Sports Report made a comeback on tonight's show and we got to see Danica Patrick being referred to as a "b****" by Ross Shimabuku, and a very excited bowler (Pete Weber), and a short bit about the brutality of football when viewed as a way to get tips during games.
But now, on to tonight's guest. Tonight it was a musical guest, Audra McDonald, who is starring as Bess in "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess." The story takes place in Stephen's hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. As Audra and Stephen discuss this Broadway "great American opera" they both come to realize (because Stephen said it) that the parallels to Stephen's life are amazing.
So, after the break, Audra McDonald sang the song "Summertime" and who do you think joined in halfway through? Yeah, you know who.
