“Is Newt Gingrich having trouble staying on message? Not if ‘message’ is the name of his receptionist.” - Stephen Colbert
This guy right here, should be Eddie’s replacement.
“Cain took the podium, admittedly, without asking the podium if it wanted to be taken.”

(Part two is tonight, and how awesome would it be if Stephen really did put his SuperPAC bucks behind OWS?)
“I was in the audience last night, and he told us that after the cameras stopped rolling, both of them were all over the breakfast items.” - academiadreams
Stephen Colbert tries to blend in at Occupy Wall Street.
