    Huevos Muy, Muy Grande

    Mr. Colbert, we are not worthy!! A truly brilliant and brave moment in the history of American political satire. I could not believe they let Stephen continue; it was scathing, and he flamed, beautifully and accurately, every whore and john in the place. It was priceless. This exceeds the Jon Stewart performance that brought Crossfire to its knees. Considering who was there and who was watching, it almost makes one fear for Colbert's personal safety. He burned those fascists bastards to the ground with a smile and a stiletto sharp shiv in the ribs. Bravo, Colbert. Buck Fush!
