PREVIEW: Sen. Claire McCaskill to appear on ‘The Colbert Report’ next week

From the Associated Press:

McCaskill to appear on Colbert show

WASHINGTON | Sen. Claire McCaskill will trade wits with comedian Stephen Colbert next week when she appears as a guest on his popular Comedy Central show.

The Missouri Democrat says she’s doing it as a birthday gift for her 19-year-old-daughter, who is a big fan of the program.

Colbert is known for making politicians squirm while he interrogates them in the guise of a pompous conservative talk show host.

McCaskill is not known for being bashful, but concedes the laughs might come at her expense.

She says it’s a unique gift to let her daughter watch Colbert poke fun at her mom.

      Haha. I know what you mean, but if nothing else, her daughter will probably have the chance to meet Stephen.
