Did you see how she cross her legs, Sharon Stone style?

Slut.

Due to the blog controversy, I couldn't help checking out her breasts. I have surrendered my feminist card to the nearest woman.

Funny. I was doing other stuff with Colbert on in the background and I noticed the woman he was interviewing saying some cool and funny things, but didn't hear who she was other than to get the idea she was a blogger of some sort.

I think you have to send it to Ann Althouse. She keeps them as trophies.

I think it's fairly obvious she only appeared on Colbert's show as part of a convoluted scheme to seduce Bill Clinton.

Clearly Jessica is out to undermine feminism by promoting her book on one of the most popular shows on cable tv and flustering Colbert (who's obviously completely on her side, and good for him).

She should have dressed like Ugly Betty for the interview.

I am really enjoying watching the rise of the bloggers through the ranks of the MSM. It would have taken years, if ever, for the recognition the more talented are receiving currently. And we get to watch it on cable, which is even more fun. It somehow makes the world seem smaller.

Which color is "Ugly" Betty?

Clearly blonde.

Speaking of internet semi-fame.

There's an "AA-list internet celebrity" joke in here somewhere.

She came off better than almost anyone I've seen on Colbert, even if I could've sworn she said "shit" twice. Or maybe because of that.

I look forward to seeing this clip after work. Very few people have the poise, verbal ability, and attitude to do well on the Colbert show. So much so that I don't usually watch his guest segment when I watch his show.

17: you know, honestly, I don't think she did that great. She came off as slightly over-serious and unwilling/unable to play along with Colbert. I realize playing along with Colbert can't be easy, but to me she looked like every other new-to-television writer trying to stick to book-selling talking points. I don't mean that as a general slam against Valenti, just an observation that it's easy to tell writers (especially newish ones) from showbiz people on teevee interviews.

I thought she came off about as well as anyone I've seen on Colbert (which is only about five people). If you try to be serious, you seem unhip, but if you play along the whole time, you don't get to say anything that you want to say. I think sticking to your talking points and laughing at the right time is the way to go. But maybe y'all have seen someone really shine on the show and I haven't

The producers wouldn't let someone shine. They tell you up front: answer the questions straight. Don't be funny. That's our gig.
