Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) appeared on Colbert’s show recently

I saw it, and it was pretty funny. The line about Maine being .01
black or whatever and Colbert says “whats his name” is hilarious.
Glad to see someone from Maine on national TV who isnt Susan
Collins for a change.

Chris, I loved the opening to the segment with Colbert dressed up like a Maine lobsterman/fisherman! Hysterical! Chellie is a really funny person. The summer I spent following her around was fun. She’s very personable too. Howie Carr was making fun of her knitting comments. WTH, many people knit. Hell, even a few years back professional football players were knitting to help their minds focus better! My grandmother was in the process of knitting her last pair of slippers 2 weeks before she died. She was blind. LOL I’m serious….she had knitted so much in her life that she could knit without seeing!

Learn why this is the BIG BUZZ around the country, read the book:
US soldier wrote good provocative new book: “THE ROAD TO AMERICA’S
ECONOMIC MELTDOWN,” by RAYMOND BERESFORD HAMILTON. One reader
wrote: All Americans should read this book it says a lot and makes
more sense than Dick Morris’s “Catastrophe” or Glen Beck’s
non-sense “Common Sense” the book focuses on the system of
government that have developed over time in this country and its
attitude toward the poor and its unconditional never ending support
for the wealthy. It challenges the members of Congress to do a
better job of regulating the economy for the benefit of future
generations of Americans to come. The book is recommended for all
to read because of its relavance and timeliness. 5 Stars. It is
available at all online stores: Amazon, Barnes & Noble’s and
many more.
