New York Post ^ | May 21, 2017 | Lindsey Kupfer

Former GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz once went on “The Late Show” and asked Stephen Colbert if he could “humanize” him.

Colbert was explaining to an audience at New York mag’s Vulture Festival on Saturday that audiences can “smell a prepared answer” from a politician.

“I don’t want to betray my guest because there’s what happens on-camera and off-camera, but I guess it’s okay because I don’t think [Ted Cruz] understood what he was asking,” the 53-year-old host said.

“I said, ‘Don’t go into a stump speech and you will be a human being,’” Colbert recalled. “He goes, ‘That’s hard’ and I said, ‘So is being human.’”

Colbert confirmed that Cruz immediately went into his stump speech on the show that night.

Now that’s funny. It might even be true.

Ted’s not quite as robotic as Rubio, but his phony Elmer Gantry act is a little over the top.

Stephen Colbert needs to be humanized. He looks like a South Park caricature of a human being. Just like Morning Joe.

What, Lyn’ Ted wanted to know how to be a more convincing liar? Heck, he did pretty good in that department as there are still people on FR that believe and defend him and his lies.

They all just want to be celebrities and ensure their place in “the club” forever.

Donald Trump already has all that behind him. He wants to do good.

Maybe someone could sub-humanize them.That’s about the best we could hope for.

Why does anyone believe what that douche nozzle has to say? And to be fair, he is more of an anal enema nozzle.

Well this thread should make for an interesting read by the morning

I’m figuring 100 posts. :)

And not a lot of unbiased ones on either side :)
