Lest we forget that Colbert is a liberal in wolf's clothing. His act is to constantly satire those from the serious end of the cable news industry. He actually takes things as he believes O'Reilly would do and runs with them. If, this farce were pulled off and it did happen, as in Man of the Year, I don't think anyone would be laughing anymore once they see him walk up to the podium and, totally out of character, begins talking about the reasons we should have a socialized health care system. Maybe I'm taking this too serious. I like Colbert, but let's face it, he mocks everything we on the right hold dear. He is good at it, many on the right don't even realize he is mocking them.
