Culture: Like peanut butter + chocolate: Colbert, Newsweek guest editor

  • No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. You’re reading Stephen Colbert. And for that I apologize. The last thing I want is to contribute to the corrosive influence of the print media. I prefer to yell my opinions at you in person.
  • Stephen Colbert • In his letter from the editor, titled “Why I Took This Crummy Job.” Colbert guest-edited this week’s issue of the magazine – the first guest editor in the magazine’s history. He didn’t just sit around and take the credit. As he puts it, he “set the editorial agenda, assigned stories and yelled at Peter Parker to get me more photos of that web-slinging vigilante, Spider-Man.” We love this country. Thanks Stephen! • source
