Yes, I can see that working if you want to live in a nation gripped by eternal terror of anything and everything. If, however, you would prefer to live in a nation where sanity and reasonableness prevail, then perhaps Jon Stewart might be a better choice?
Sanity and reasonableness are overrated... Colbert will prevent those pesky Canadians from invading us. And he will protect us from bears!!!
You're aware that Colbert is a master satirist, right? That he intentionally presents things at the opposite end of the spectrum to what Stewart does? I can forgive you if you didn't, of course. It took me a moment to see how good he is at it. At first I thought he was serious.
I'm referring to the rally to restore fear/sanity where they both spoofed opposing parties. I know they're both comedians.
