Interesting discussion. Huffington is honest and straightforward. She puts herself squarely in the 'yellow weeds' camp and sees no green shoots.
On the economy's turnaround, Huffington says:
- "Stephen, you are suffering from a case of premature exaltation. A declaration of a recovery before it is occurring. Cassandra was right, and the cheerleading Trojans were dead wrong."
Colbert responds:
- "Sometimes, the tail wags the dead dog. If you just wag it along enough, someone will come along and start petting it."
- "Are The Huffington Post offices actually located within a bleeding heart?"
