Last night on The Colbert Report, Stephen took Senator Jon Kyl to task for lying on the Senate floor, saying that “well over 90%” of Planned Parenthood’s services are abortions, only to say later that his previous, blatantly false statement was “not intended to be a factual statement.”
(He’s still playing a brilliant #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement” hashtag game at Kyl’s expense on his Twitter account today.)
While Stephen’s segment on Kyl was so funny and sadly based in real events that I wouldn’t blame you for rolling on the floor in laughter or tears, it was his bit about Fox and Friends‘ own misguided Planned Parenthood “facts” that had everyone — including Stephen — barely containing themselves. Watch (the F&F stuff starts around the 3:20 mark):

See you ladies (and fellas!) at Walgreens. Except you, John Kyl. You swallow your disposable cameras at home.

Meghan hails from Walla Walla, WA, the proud home of the world’s best sweet onions and Adam West, the original Batman. An avid grammarian and over-analyzer, you can usually find her thinking too hard about plot devices in favorites like The Office, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and How I Met Your Mother. In her spare time, Meghan enjoys drawing, shopping, trying to be funny (and often failing), and not understanding the whole Twilight thing. She’s got a BA in English and Studio Art from Whitman College, which makes her a professional arguer, daydreamer, and doodler.
