Stephen Colbert in ‘View’ Walk-Off Shocker

On Tuesday, Stephen Colbert joined fellow guest Maria Shriver on the deceptively comfy couch frequently inhabited by Barbara Walters and her colleagues from “The View” to discuss his upcoming fear-based rally and Bill O’Reilly before things got a little too uncomfortable. —KA

“She taught us to still love life and not be bitter. And to realize that everybody suffers and that if you can accept your suffering then you’ll just understand other people better. And strangely enough you have to be grateful for pain.”

I’ll try to remember those words.

Comedian with a conscience… now, he is supposed to be a minstrel for Caesar further adding smoke to their mirrored show… but this one may KNOW BETTER than to obfuscate the people’s view!

He’ll entertain while showcasing the truth of the matter and while revealing the shameful lies and lives of those worshiping at the altar of Rome.

At least that’s what I hope he’ll do.

Colbert should be Secretary of State, with Jesse Ventura as President, Peter Schiff as Treasuror and Paul as Vice or Kucinich as Vice.
