    Steven Colbert, An American hero

    In the present state of this nation there is a press corp who are terified of speaking out or even reporting on anything other than what is handed to them by the W.H.We now have An American Hero, Steven Colbert who was not afraid to state in front of the nation and G.W. Bush and company the true feelings of the American people excepting those that are too dense to see the reality of the criminal actions of a party gone corrupt. I hope that more people will come forward and speak out. There is a very limited venue where we as citizens can speak out.
