| Yeah, Colbert shouldn't have interrupted her at that point., since she was so fascinating to listen to. I do wonder if she might have confused the audience when she used the word "surgery" a few times when they might not know that it is used in Britain many times in place of "office". Many folks might have wondered why she was bringing up a medical procedure while she was otherwise very eloquently and passionately discussing her motivations for getting into politics because she felt she had to save her country from Margaret Thatcher. I generally like Colbert a lot, but she was giving a serious recount of her career in politics in response to his question, and he should have sensed that it might be his cue to just listen. Ms. Jackson wasn't in the mood for banter -- perhaps if he had given her two segments, and had her back after a commercial break, she might have had time to do more of Colbert's usual give and take. I think she was brilliant. Btw, there are videos on YouTube of Jackson in Parliament really giving it to Thatcher and her government's policies which are absolutely worthy of the greatest playwrights' finest incendiary monologues. | |
