    Put that in your pipe and smoke it

    So that’s what it looks and sounds like when someone tells the emperor he has no clothes on. The stunned slack-jawed silence of the sycophants in attendance was delicious. Colbert absolutely annihilated everyone in the room (Scalia, Snow, McClellan, McCain, Pace). With Karl Rove now re-focusing on politics in stead of policy it will be interesting to see what kind of underhanded scheme the administration comes up with to seek revenge on Colbert.
