This reminds me of that *really* old joke about King Kong.

Thanks SMGFan.

I read this morning that Colbert is denying sending the tweet. How convenient!

According to leftist rules, it sure as hell is ok to discriminate against Asians in college admissions.

Kobe Bryant just made the racial injuries hurt feelings crowd angry. He said he wouldn’t support someone just because they are black, referring to St. Skittles. Of course, the black community was not amused and he has had to walk it back a bit.

If he had wanted to tweet something intelligent regarding the desire to rename the Redskins by the ninny nannies, he could have said something to the effect that when they own their own team, they can decide what to name it. Otherwise STFU.

" I guess some viewers think the character “Stephen Colbert” is a real person."

No doubt. Some of these people probably believe the Captain Kangaroo was a real person.

I recall now, it was Seinfeld. He recently made some remarks about the excesses of PC correctness. I would think Colbert was joining in.

A few years back Rush mocked then Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to America by mocking Hu in made up Chinese. And the Colbert Report covered this. Here is a transcript: “Hu Jintao – He was speaking and they weren’t translating. They normally
translate every couple of words. Hu Jintao was just going ching chong, ching chong cha,”

I think Colbert was alluding to this with his tweet.
