A Connecticut maverick in King Colbert's court

Senate candidate Ned Lamont met a true test this week: an interview with Stephen Colbert. The Connecticut challenger to Joe Lieberman more than held his own against his inquisitor, as you can see in the clip on YouTube.

Lamont might actually be the best interview on "The Colbert Report" so far. He was witty and articulate, willing to go along with the twisted questioning from Colbert while realizing that he is the straight man and his host is the funnyman. Interview subjects who try to out-Colbert the host always fall flat on their faces. Lamont didn't do that.

Lieberman apparently is too craven to appear on "The Report" — another indicator that he is out of touch.
