Grover Norquist: Colbert "Less Scary and More Fun"

Conservative icon Grover Norquist was on The Colbert Report Wednesday and has nothing but good things to say about the experience:

"It was one of the most challenging interviews I’ve ever done because it’s so unpredictable and he’s so bright," said Norquist. Still, he thinks he held his own. "I think Colbert was off his game, perhaps because I appeared on the same day that the Bush administration listed polar bears as an endangered species." (Colbert famously jokes on his show about his fear of bears.)

Norquist explained why "The Colbert Report" is a more challenging interview than "The Daily Show." "Stewart will challenge you from a moderately liberal position, but I face that everyday talking to the New York Times," said Norquist. "When Colbert asks me an oddball question, he starts by saying 'You and I agree on something,' than he says something odd. … He’s amazingly quick and you have to be prepared for the unexpected."
