. . .and then I saw him give Sarah Palin the smack down of a lifetime on his January 18th ep. It was beautiful, man. The man has some outstanding writers. Check his site for the vid.
I never watch Colbert but I caught him last night. Awesome.
Here’s the clip. The setup was a news anchor (Mika somebody) sorta rolling her eyes/looking bored when reporting on something Palin said.
Colbert ranting about Palin as though he was channeling Mika was brilliant.
That was, how you say. . . full of win.
“See you in 2012…I’m buying!”
Classic. 
I actually recorded the episode after that bit so I could show it to my husband.
