From the Portland Press Herald:

During the hour-and-a-half of taping, the Maine Democrat wound up thumb wrestling with Colbert, arguing against his stance that wind is not necessarily a renewable energy source, and defending the taste of Maine’s official soft drink, Moxie — which both host and guest were drinking.
There was also was talk about gay marriage and chickens wearing sweaters, and Pingree’s rebuttal of Colbert’s assertion that most Mainers have no running water.

Sounds good to me, and I’m looking forward to better knowing Maine’s 1st Congressional District!
Oh…man. I hope this is tonight! Thumb-wrestling?! Should I be this excited? Lolz.

Aww sweet! Thumb-wrestling! Woot! I just love it when Stephen challenges a representative in a pointless fight! Stephen FTW!

Thumb wrestling, that’s cute. Now leg wrestling, that’s sexy. Looking forward to finding out if Stephen also has freakishly strong thumbs.
(As an aside, I keep hoping that they’ll one day replace “purple-mounted” in the intro with “freakishly strong”).
