The Colbert Report

Stephen Colbert is a national treasure:

YouTube - Colbert making fun of morning news for deriding his program

Colbert's clips from "Today" and "Good Morning America" are priceless. Colbert says:

I asked Congressman Lyn Westmoreland who proposed requiring the display of the ten commandments in the House and Senate chambers if he could name the ten commandments. What I should have asked him [according to "Today" and "Good Morning America" was this:

  • Is tanning addictive?
  • How long did it take you to grow that [beard]?
  • Do you really need to wait a half hour after you eat to go swimming?
