Michele went on the Cobert Report the other day, and she ran circles around him.

(Not verbatim)

Colbert: "We all know you and Barack are elitists. How elitist was it, growing up on the South side of Chicago? How many silver spoons did you have in your mouth??

MO: Well, we had...four. Four spoons.

Colbert: FOUR? So that tag sticks?

MO: Well, then Daddy got a promotion at the plant and we had five spoons.

Colbert told her she was a beautiful woman and then asked if his saying that would make Obama mad enough to come on the show and punch him.

MO: Well...maybe if you sang to me, also...

Colbert: (Sings a few lines)

MO: Oh, well, Barack has a better voice than you do, anyway..."


She was terrific.
