Fabulous. My favorite part: "I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least, and by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq." :D

The power of being the hottest thing in the news world... I have no doubt he made alot of people really uncomfortable.

WOW that speech of his was fucking amazing i've watched it twice.

plus here, i laughed:

-- Rep. Albert R. Wynn (D-Md.)
Colbert: Do you support the NSA wiretap program?
Wynn: I don't support that.
Colbert: Explain why in 2004 the Montgomery Sentinel asked you which superpower you would choose: invisibility or flight. You picked invisibility, saying, "I would use my powers to fight crime by eavesdropping on criminal plots so to thwart them in advance." How is that different than the wiretapping?
Wynn: Superheroes don't require court orders.
Colbert: So you agree that Bush is a super hero. Maybe Bush's super power is just the ability to ignore Congress. You will admit he does it better than anybody else.
Wynn: True, I agree.
