Colbert shows more testicular fortitude than the entire lot of the White House press whore-core. I was only disappointed in that Georgie didn't throw one of his tantrums usually reserved for off-screen abusing of his staff members. Seeing him go off on national tee-vee would have been priceless.

On the down side, the whole episode reveals by contrast just how far into Roman Imperial tyranny the US has slid, when most of the room was *afraid* to laugh at Nero.
