Stephen Colbert is on a serious tear in this “Colbert Report” clip from Tuesday night’s show, tackling religious symbology, reptilian champion of atheism Christopher Hitchens, canary-eating Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and the infamous Three-Fifths Compromise all in one go—and that’s before he busts into the Apostles’ Creed. —KA

Calling Colbert’s treatment of Hitchens “tackling” is an exaggeration. Note the difference between the treatment given to Scalia and Hitchens. The former got a rational critique, and the latter got called names.
