Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.
"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Some speech writer wrote some joke about his (JB Pritzker's) weight, but I would never want to talk about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob. I don't mention it

I occasionally have what I call a "Jesse Jackson moment".
I see a bad situation and I think to myself "Somebody should do something to fix this." Then I hear Rev. Jackson's voice in my head telling me: "I am Somebody" and I know that I am the one who should do something to fix the bad situation.
