Making Colbert go away

    Easy solution.

    If the MSM does not think Colbert was funny and many other people do, I guess the only solution is to run the entire routine and let the American people decide!

    HAHAHAHA!!!! Now that is funny, even thinking the MSM would ever let that routine get broadcast! They do not have the courage that Colbert's left pinky finger has, which has less courage that his right pinky finger.
