Conflict of Interest I’m On Colbert Tonight
posted by on November 11 at 14:41 PM
I Googled my last appearance on the Colbert Report because I was worried that I brought the same shirt with me to NYC. Luckily my boyfriend packed my other teevee shirt. Stephen is going to be talking with me about—can you guess?—Prop 8. And, yes, I am going on Colbert in my official capacity as spokesperson for all gay people everywhere.
Break a leg! And visit Baltimore!
For those of us without the cables, please provide a link tomorrow on the internets.
Thank you.
Be certain to blame the blacks and latinos. No one knows how to line up a circular firing squad better!
Blame senior citizens while you're at it.
Yes a link to the chat would be good.
If you got a ride to and from the airport, remember the IRS upped the deductible business mileage reimbursement to 50.5 cents per mile, assuming the paper reimburses for that. If it's for charity it's only 14 cents a mile, and what's up with that?
Cool! Be sure to read Nate Silver as background...

Read and linked already, Co-called.
a sportcoat wouldn't kill you.
Boycott Colbert!
I love Colbert but how in the hell do you prep for that show? He's absolutely mental! Good luck!
Oh god. You're going to talk about black people using the 70% figure, so please at least note the same exit poll showed more white people than black people voted to ban gay adoption in Arkansas. And that 88% of people who go to church once a week voted for Prop 8. Maybe throw in some figures like 27% of gays and 57% of white men voted for McCain, compared to 95% of black people who voted for Obama. Please?
Blame senior citizens while you're at it.
Clearly pit bulls are at fault.
I disagree with you completely about the Prop 8/black voters issue but good luck. Please don't come off as demonizing black people. :[
You should talk about how gays should try to win over the country the way Obama won over the country. Rather than being a dick to those who currently oppose you.
In other words, abandon the failed McCain-Palin tactic of insulting the slices of the electorate that currently favor the other side. Be positive. Be nice.
max @9, a jacket sometimes camouflages the trapezoids, a Glamour Don't for the gay chat-show guest under 50. Sheesh.
Thanks for being THEE gay!
cool, that guy is a complete Spazz - say hi to Gorlock (his financial trader) for me!
Seriously, pay attention to Nate Silver's stats and don't scapegoat African Americans and other minorities. Colbert comes off like a loon, but he'll show you up as a buffoon and racist so try to be tactful for your own sake.
I can't wait to see it! But I'll have to wait till it's available on iTunes (tomorrow, I suppose) since I don't have teevee. !
Use that awesome rap line I gave you.

AND AND REALY ORGANIZE, NOT JUST TALK AND BLATHER ... SFO LOW TURNOUT - NO OUTREACH TO MINORITES - NO AGRESSIVE FIELD, JUST BAD MEDIA TOO LATE
BAD CAMPAIGNS LOSE, WHATEVER THE STATS OF THE FINGER POINTING, SORRY
Dear god, watch him go on a pointless random white power tangent. I am as white as they come, (lol i have a picture of dale earnhardt hanging up), I have family members with all sorts of racial opinions, but Dan Savage has got to be one of the most clueless mfs ever. I am prepared to be embarrassed.
d: You know you can watch it on hulu.com or colbertnation.com, right?
dan...i love you...can we meet up for drinks later? my bf got to meet you...i'm insanely jealous.
Just keep the talk to sex advice or charming anecdotes from home and you'll be fine!
Got to hand it to you, though -- I'd kill to be paid to pontificate on subjects of which I was completely ignorant. Hell of a scam.
So far on this, you have been Al Sharpton. Don't be Sharpton. Be Obama.
God help us. Now he's going on national television to shit can black people.
Which polling data are you going to use?
@27 - I love Al Sharpton. I'm cool with Dan being Al Sharpton.
Last time you were just at his table, no?
It looks like this time you're at the big table.
what % of gays voted for Prop 8?
anyone?
I love seeing you on TV. You always do a great job.
It's times like these that I regret not having cable. But I'm sure I'll be able to find it somewhere else later (Woo youtube!).
Hey Faggot! Break a leg!

Mention that we have nothing against straight people as long as they continue to make gay kids. Credit Charles Pierce. Thanks.

@31: Not enough were polled in California for the polling company to report (same issue with black men). They did say 4% of exit polled voters self-identified themselves as gay, though.

Can anyone get the CNN site to work? Maybe someone can do some math to find out.
Thanks for telling us ahead of time. (I sometimes skip Colbert...)
But you sure took a risk! No wonder you don't usually inform us until after the event.
Though this was probably 'after the event,' too. Colbert tapes early in the day, doesn't he?
Looked at Colbert's website and on the left side :-) where he shows upcoming guests I don't see you listed. Why?

colbert tapes at 4pm our time 7pm their time
Hi Dan,
I don't watch Colbert regularly so could you make a post about when it's going to air?
I love you, warts and all. Break a leg!
To everyone who didn't get the headline:
Dan is going to be on the Colbert Report tonight. It airs at 11:30p.m. on Comedy Central-- usually this is channel 60 around Seattle.
If you are unable to watch it at air time, I suggest using these sites:
http://www.hulu.com/the-colbert-report
http://www.colbertnation.com
They don't require your credit card number, they just require a reasonably current version of Flash be installed on your computer.
And if I seem humorless, it's because I hate stupid questions.
welcome to new york! And break a leg =)
Someone needs to buy Savage a Tom of Finland t-shirt to wear for media events.
Nothing says Gay Spokesperson, like Tom of Finland.
@28
Now he's going on national television to shit can black people.
Of course, he's white that's all we ever do... even when we are not doing it out loud, we are thinking about it. That clarified.....
Dan, you rock! Say what you think is right and ignore this race-card playing lynch mob
Thank you for NOT wearing a sweater vest.
P.S. I hope you bump in to Jon Stewart and his 2 pit bulls Shamsky & Monkey.... & have a POSITIVE life changing experience!
when did racism and blame -- or assigning responsibility -- become card games? No Dan is not the Grand Wizard. He plays the milder form of the game called race baiting. Kind of like bridge vs. spades. And he's good!
Break a nail, Dan.
This should be fun. :D
Gross!
