On 'The Colbert Report' Tuesday, Stephen Colbert gave his support to Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain principally because his name is easy to rhyme.
"When it comes to a presidential candidate, I look first for an easily rhymed name," said Colbert. He then dropped a hysterical (and slightly nonsensical) verse playing on Cain's name.
Stephen Colbert (sort of) defended Michele Bachmann’s now-infamous, accidental comparison to serial killer John Wayne Gacy on Tuesday night’s episode of ‘The Colbert Report.’
Since the gaffe, Bachmann has admitted that she misspoke, but Colbert takes issue with her concession. “What on earth are you apologizing for? All you said is that you have the same spirit as John Wayne Gacy, and I think there is something to that.” Colbert said. “Because like Gacy, people might think you’re a clown. But if they dig a little deeper, they’ll find you are deadly serious.”
