Title: Stephen Colbert talks about debt ceiling, Lord of the Rings
Post by: freakazoid on July 29, 2011, 12:06:34 PM

Last night on The Colbert Report Stephen Colbert talked about how McCain had called Tea Partiers hobbits, hilarity ensues. http://www.colbertnation.com/full-episodes/thu-july-28-2011-buddy-roemer

McCain called Tea Partiers hobbits?

In LOTR, weren't they the good guys?

I think the most fitting analogy is conspicuously absent from McCain's ramblings.


It is all happening at "Mordor on the Potomac."
