National Public Radio found itself with a problem Saturday that turned out to be anything but. Due to a snowstorm, “Girls” creator and star and Hillary Clinton campaign surrogate Lena Dunham was unable to appear as scheduled on “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!”
LISTEN: We planned for Lena Dunham on this week's @waitwait, but a snowstorm meant we got Stephen Colbert instead. https://t.co/3vEGO8RRkK

Fortunately, NPR was able to find another white liberal on short notice, and it turned out the listening audience was quick to accept Stephen Colbert in Dunham’s place. Rest assured, though — every missed Lena very much.
I have never been so thankful for a snowstorm in my life. #smallmiracle #decentpeoplelistentoyourshow

That reminds me of the Aramis Ramirez trade of 2003

@StephenAtHome order more snowstorms, then! Please, for the love of all that's funny!

Please don't be in any hurry to reschedule her. Worst guest choice since Kardashian.

I'd have changed the station if Lena had been on. I rarely change the station. Just saying…

Just saying … what? What exactly are you people trying to say here?
You guys know most of us don't like her, no? Because if you don't, well, we don't.
