That was particularly evident when the Secret Service swept Colbert out of the room, pushed him to his knees, held him there, and handed Bush a pistol. After cocking the gun and pressing it to Colberts head, Bush hissed, Zer are some sings ve dont say in front of ze most powerful people on the planet in a manner zat doesnt make their sides split in laughter. Do ve have an understantink?
Colbert refused to submit. He spat on Bushs shoes and announced his duty to stand up for liberty, democracy and freedom of speech--the bedrock principles upon which our once great nation was founded.
Bush bristled at the brave mans steely resolve. Unlike run of the mill whiney Democrats, (so many of which the President had dispatched in the past to that undisclosed location in the sky) this man was brave. To save his cowboy pride Bush pulled the trigger.
By far the greater man, Colbert died that day. But Bush was a changed man forever. He saw that his opponents had truth on their side and it frightened him. His remaining days in office were few, and a new day in Amerian freedom stood poised on the horizon.
Let us today remember the great brave comedian/martyr, Stephen Colbert. His noble sacrifice, however, marks the path to freedom. Such are the times were live in, and such are our heroes. In these difficult, difficult times.
