Stephen Colbert gave a shout-out to Tea Party group FreedomWorks on Monday for stepping up its’ efforts against the Affordable Care Act, which organizers have compared to protests against the Vietnam War. “Yeah, people forget that about the Vietnam War,” Colbert explained to his viewers. “Those hippies were just fiscal conservatives protesting a ‘Big Government’ program. I don’t want to see a whole generation forced to fight infection at some nearby county hospital only to come home in one piece with something to live for.”
"You can burn them, but we have to print, cut and laminate them first."

Colbert is my hero and he is bringing much positive (mostly) publicity to my home state. Even though I make fun of a lot of things about South Carolina, in truth it is a really friendly, beautiful and culturally diverse state much more so than the rest of the country probably realizes given the usual stereotypical coverage it receives. And yes, there are some backwoods freaks there no doubt, but not as bad as what I have encountered in the wilds of West Virginia!
My husband & I went to WVU. Let me tell you-you see some nasty stuff in a dental clinic in WV!

I can't watch things like CNN because the anchors all freak me out a bit — they seem like, literally, nothing more than airheads reading off the teleprompter, with no real understanding of what they are reading, and who will giggle over the stupidest things because, well, they are stupid.
Plus, of course the, sometimes, 5 or 10 second "stories".
And that is the ONLY difference between Stewart and Colbert and the so called serious "News" outlets! They are both for profit vehicles of entertainment designed to attract the most viewers possible to appease the advertising Gods, nothing more, nothing less.
Don't worry she's in on the joke.
