Bain Pain

Everything fell apart, apparently, while Stephen was on vacation. Case in point. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got divorced. Also, Anderson Cooper acknowledged that fact that he is gay. Stephen could not believe that. "If that man is gay then I'm secretly a liberal," is how he put it

Quickly Stephen moved on to politics. The hot topic now is Mitt Romney's elusive answers about his job at Bain Capital. Mitt Romney says he left Bain Capital in 1999 to work on the Olympics in Salt Lake City. But in filings with SEC in 2002, he listed himself as sole shareholder, sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President at Bain. But if you know how to phrase it, it is easy. He retroactively retired in 2002 back to 1999, according to Ed Gillespie. So, that couldn't be any clearer, could it?

Stephen's guest last night was Anne-Marie Slaughter. She wrote an article for the Atlantic, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All." For most working women, the demands are too much, she said. Women still do 2/3 of the housework and 2/3 of the child care. Stephen solved her problem. He told her to just not do it. Don't do so much of the housework. Don't do so much of the child care.

Is there any problem he can't solve?
