Colbert Report

April 12, 2012

Topic: Mitt Romney flips the "war on women" script with the help of Hilary Rosen, survivalist singles embrace online dating, and director James Cameron talks "Titanic 3D."

As usual this was a entertaining episode of The Colbert Report.  This is generally a more liberal based show which is a reason I tend to find it to be so funny.  Some of what stood out was the attention paid to Romney and his campaign which is something we have focused on frequently in class.  Specifically the "war on women."  Romney essentially blamed the "war on women" completely on Obama's economic policies saying that the majority of people who lost jobs during his presidency were primarily women.  Many jokes were thrown in there to make it more entertaining.  SOmething else that was discussed was Armageddon which might not have been quite as important to politics as the republican primary.  This really was just to increase the humor in the episode.
