Bernie Sanders made his much touted appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and it did not disappoint. Not only was Colbert very funny while talking about the current presidential race and Sanders’ surprising success against the once seemingly Teflon-coated Hillary Clinton, but Sanders himself was on point too. To start, though, Colbert put out a “Bern” notice to his audience in an attempt to explain the success of Sanders in Iowa and New Hampshire (which is apparently different than the last time it happened to Hillary Clinton).
The highlight here is definitely hearing Sanders “singing” Woody Guthrie’s folk classic “This Land Is Your Land” with a reggae beat. I believe it’s the first time that Colbert has nearly broken down in laughter with his new gig.
Later, Sanders came out for the interview and apparently got a little worked up at times, which he’s often prone to do when he gets on the issues. Here he talks about why he doesn’t take offense to being called a liberal socialist or just a socialist (socialist pinko swine, maybe?) and actually prefers to call himself a “progressive.” Then there are a lot of people out there that just want to call him “daddy,” and then proceed to verbally sex the old timer up.
I blame his singing voice. It just gets the blood going and women can’t resist.
And, finally, Sanders sets the record straight on a number of important issues affecting the Americas, and many other more personal things. The ladies who love Bernie will be happy to hear that he is alright with kissing on the first date, but only in the right situations. He’s also for The Carpenters and against “Rainy Days And Mondays” (I’m counting this as both the song and the actual thing).
The most important issue that pops up here is his thoughts on Van Halen. The man made the right choice and that alone should be reason to vote for him (which is not even close to being the silliest political opinion in an election where Donald Trump is running for president).
