A “Fightin’ heathen” follow up from Lori Lippman Brown
By
I’ve mentioned how much I love it when Stephen’s it-getter guests post about their experiences on The Colbert Report, haven’t I?
From Rant & Reason (“Humanist perspectives on breaking news and politics”):
After far too much kvelling, I’ve been asked by my colleagues in the Secular Coalition for America office to take a moratorium on mentioning the name Stephen Colbert. But He who shall not be mentioned was so much fun! A few weeks back, I taped a two hour interview for the Colbert Report that was cut to a five minute segment …
After the taping, I asked Stephen to autograph my copy of his book, I Am America and So Can You. For anyone who hasn’t read it, he has a terrific section on the “Big Secularist Agenda” and how the secular “caucus” of Representative Pete Stark (the only out nontheist in Congress) – he, himself and him – is taking over. Mr. Colbert inscribed the following in the front of my book: “Better watch your back. GOD [underlined three times] bless you. Stephen Colbert.” Ya gotta love this guy!
How much am I giggling over the fact that her colleagues had to tell her to pipe down with the Stephen Colbert love? I’ve never been on The Report (obviously), but I can imagine that I’d be just the same. Hee!
Great job, Lori; I salute you and your WristSTRONG bracelet. Here’s that segment again, for any of you who missed it:

That’s what NFZ is for: indulging in my Stephen Colbert-related fun and games without driving the rest of my friends mad. :)

Perhaps he did it because she’s a fangirl. I don’t know why but that does seem like something he’d do. Lol. He’s rather mischievous.

I noticed the WristStrong bracelet as well. This is one of my favorite BKALs thus far, and it’s so great that she’s an It-getter!

and we all know he has a special rapport (no T) with his female guests — they are all “it-getters”!

I just love it when Better Know interviewees are also secret “It-Getters”. I immediately caught the Wrist Strong bracelet too and knew just from that that it was going to be a fabulous interview, which it was.
Lori Lippman Brown: It-Getter!
