Backstage at the Colbert Report
If you had told any of us Josh Marshall would already be interviewing Sen. Kerry and hanging out backstage at the Colbert Report in the second week of TPM TV, we probably would have believed you -- it's a bad idea to underestimate TPM Media -- but it's still pretty amazing to see today's episode. Here's what Josh wrote on talkingpointsmemo.com:
(April 18, 2007 -- 09:15 AM EDT)A lot of TPM Readers are big fans of the Colbert Report. So many of you probably saw Sen. Kerry's (D-MA) appearance on the show on Monday. It so happens we got to do a walkaround with him before he went on the show. On his way over to the studio, I talked to the senator about Iraq and his new book, This Moment on Earth. And then we got to video some backstage footage of Kerry and Colbert cracking some jokes just before the show.
This is part one of our afternoon with Kerry and Colbert. We'll bring you part two tomorrow when I ask Sen. Kerry what the Democrats' end-game is in their stand-off with the president over the Iraq funding bill.
where's the vid, josh?
