Well, I'll admit it - even though the Colbert Report is a comedy show, I was nervous about trying to go toe-to-toe with Stephen Colbert this week in a discussion about my new book
Hostile Takeover. But I think I did my best to fight him off and deliver some of the key points that I wrote about. HHe's a tough host, and his satire can make him even tougher - just ask some of the guests he's cut down to size in the past. But he's terrifically incisive, and a genuinely nice guy off-air. It's actually amazing how different his bombastic bloviating on-air character is from the real guy. If you missed the show and are interested,
Atrios was kind enough to post the clip for folks to view.
Check out the video here - and let me know how you think I handled it.
