comedy central.... i bow down to thee
Comedy Central replayed the Inauguration Night ("The Re-Oathening") broadcast.
Stephen Colbert's segment had me on the floor. In fact, I found myself so affected, i hunted down the clip online, transcribed it (which wouldnt have been possible without realplayer's ability to watch and hear it in slow motion), and bring it to you now.
"...
Jon
... standing outside the famed constitution ball....
steven thanks for joining us ... let me ask you, i dont mean to be rude. is that a tuxedo t-shirt that youre wearing?
Colbert
thats right jon. it may be a step down from a tuxedo but its several steps up from a regualr t-shirt.
Jon
stephen, uh it seems to me that the bush people really like to throw these washington parties in sort of their own kinda downhome casual style...
Colbert
not exacly jon thats more of a first-inauguration-not-sure-we-were-legitimately-elected-lets-play-the-outsider-card kind of thing.
this time around its not so much an inauguration as the establishment of a dynasty. (pause) no. empire.
so this time instead of barbeque, platters of suckling pig with apples in their mouths are being crammed down the gullets of cigarsmoking plutocrats by indentured welfare mothers, whilst teems of virgins are orally servicing undersecretaries of commerce and rather than country and western, the music comes courtesy of a choir of the uninsured whose vocal chords have been severed leaving each singer with the ability to produce but one pure pitch. that is then tortured out of them creating an orchestra of unimaginable agony
Jon
stephen, uh, i, i, uh ... despite your vivid description ... iiiii have to tell you ive got a hard time believing that thats actually going on in that seemingly non-descript washington hotel you are standing in front of.
Colbert
well i thought you might say that john which is why i snuck in a video camera and shot this footage
(bollywood film, half-naked men, whipping, idle-worship type scene set to "let the eagle soar")
by the way jon, if you heard there that was , uh, let the eagle soar. of course "eagle soar" is a sex club code word for a forced-femdom-reach-around-daisy-chain-with-four-on-the-floor, but, and this is important, no butt stuff. thatd be queer.
or view the clip for yourself and dont let me ruin it by having you read it without the emotion and wit only a live performance will produce. (it'll open in the new window)
