Snyder gets an Arkansasectomy
As you know, Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report on Comedy Central rounds up congressmen for spoof interviews that air from time to time. So, on Jan. 19, Colbert sat down with the 2nd District's Vic Snyder. They taped for about 90 minutes and the interview — to air at 10:30 p.m. Arkansas time next Wednesday, Valentine's Day — will get about five minutes actual play. Snyder is said to be curious if not trepidatious about which five minutes will make the cut, but is also said to have been impressed with Colbert's knowledge and generally pleased with the conversation. Apparently, since Snyder is a doctor, Colbert suggested that they "play operation," and remove Arkansas, since Arkansas is like your appendix, serving no purpose and not missed if gone.
