‘Colbert Report’: Who’s the Jesus-est?
Boy, Stephen Colbert got a lot accomplished on "The Colbert Report" this past week! He established whose God was best (duh) and why writing an Op-Ed in The New York Times is a clear sign of desperation and defeat (double duh), and he even managed to outdo Rep.
