Best Part of Colbert's Speech

[brettdale]

"Im guessing the media isnt ssaying anything about this"

COLBERT: I like talking about people who don't have any power. And this seems like some of the least powerful people in the United States are migrant workers who come and do our work but don't have any rights as a result. And yet we still invite them to come here, and at the same time ask them to leave. And, you know, whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, these seem like the least of our brothers, right now. And I know that a lot of people are the least of my brothers because the economy is so hard, and I don't want to take anyone's hardship away from them or diminish it or anything like that, but migrant workers suffer, and they have no rights."

2. I watch part of it. Loved the underhanded/understated

way he skewered them..I hope not a soul in that room gets no sleep thinking about how had they just were and what he really said.
I was busy trying to repair our refrigerator , no budget for a new one..seems to be a small fan motor that moves the cold air around.
Most of the folks in that room are not dummies..but given the way some kiss corpse ass they could be crash test dummys.

4. Whuh? "The least of my brothers"? Heeyyyyy

You can just hear the little 10-watt bulbs fizzling into incandescence as some people realize that Colbert is putting the words of Jesus on some very despised persons in our society. And how offensive! Jesus was really talking about white people in the United States, not a bunch of illegal immigrants.

5. I couldn't even watch Hardball tonight

Chuck (the Rethug) Todd was just going off on Colbert, and had all his little Rethug friends on.

6. I thought it was cute

When he said his presence might even bump up the Ratings to bring him (from CSPAN3)to CSPAN1.
Funny stuff!
