Watching tonight's Colbert Report before hittin' the sack for tomorrow's big day. He's got a joke set up by noting all the cable pundits predictions for the implosion of the Democratic Party over the Hillary / Obama rift, and the punchline is:
"If the Democratic Party does not implode, we'll have to go with our backup scandal: Ed Rendell is a ->-bleeped-<-." (accompanying stock photo of Penn. Gov. Ed Rendell with a Photoshopped poofy blond wig, bright aquamarine eyeshadow, deep red rouge, bright red lipstick)
This is news? He says ->-bleeped-<- like that all the time.
I don't take any offense to Colbert's nonsense because his show is a satire. He's completely the opposite of the TV Colbert.

Yeah. That is the one loophole there. Colbert isn't really Colbert. I mean... Its been proven the man is a /b/tard, and he's a big geek. I kinda doubt inside that trans people make him all that squeamish.
