"May I remind everyone out there - this is the Presidential RACE! And to win a race - sometimes - you need to (taps arm) juice! Ryan - stretching the truth to make his speech more effective, is just another form of doping - in that - if you believe him, you're a dope."
Stephen then makes a snide reference to Hitler's WWII Nazi propaganda chief Josef Goebbels, and while the crowd awkwardly held it's collective breath, most certainly aware of the implications of using the dreaded "Nazi" reference in politics, Colbert actually managed to make a salient, albeit joking point in the process. That is his fucking genius.
Anyway - it's simply priceless - and the fucking lapdogs in the MSM, who for fear of hurting the oh-so sensitive fee-fees of their corporate paymasters and the right-wing media bloodhounds, they just slink off, tail between their legs and curl up in the corner -- dreaming that perhaps someday - they too might be permitted to be as bold as a comedian like Colbert in telling the truth to the American people in their chosen medium.
Watch the video - and cry for the death by abdication of duty, of your neutered fourth estate:
