"If that's the standard, then congress is loaded with quality candidates."

...I haven't been real keen on Colbert on the late show yet, but maybe that line marks a turning point. Genius, comedy gold!

Same here, the new show is barely palatable. I hope this drift slowly back into the Colbert Report format, and for crying out loud, get rid of that sideshow/band!

How the hell could the Speaker not be an elected member of Congress? I'd guess the Founding Fathers never imagined a situation where that would have to come up. The fact that there are 40 idiots who think compromise is a sign of weakness, and don't want to govern, they want to be cry babies and throw a tantrum until they get what they want, would make me not want the job either. Bridge building between both sides of the isle used to be a good thing. Shutting down the government for said tantrum should be against the Constitution.

Meanwhile side note. From what I understand, Heath's improved the button malfunction as there was an actual malfunction in the real detonation device causing a delay. It likely saved the scene, otherwise we'd have seen him walk out and cut right to the bus driving away, or explosions from other angles until that point anyhow.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Real Colbert is starting to come back. Glad.
