Discussion: Colbert: 'I'd Like To Welcome My New Government-Mandated Life Partner' (VIDEO)

Discussion for article #228508

There is no way in hell I am going to develop any affection for a life partner. The Supreme Court and Obama can have my wife when they pry her from my cold dead hands. I hope she feels the same way.

I’m sure she does. Especially the “cold, dead hands” part. :wink:

Careful Stephen, this bit could end up on Saturday Night Live…and, I’d keep an eye on that sport coat too.

As long as my life partner is Beyonce, J. Lo, Sofia Vergara, or Kerry Washington, I think I’ll manage.

I’m really going to miss this character. I’m happy he’s getting the payday he deserves but cable is losing one of it’s most subversive shows.

My favorite part was the rag on use of amicus briefs, some (many?) of which turn out to cite “facts” which are not facts at all. A little more sunshine on that laziness could only be a good thing.

I wish someone had thought this through a little more thoroughly.
After 36 years of marriage, 35 of them spent in the same house, my husband and I are pretty upset about having to clean out the garage in order to accommodate our new government-issue life partners.

Having this foisted upon us just as the major holidays approach is pretty stressful.

Sometimes a cheap shot is just too good to pass up.
