Man-meat that he says he is, it's time to offer a birthday shout-out to THE American icon of our times, the august Steven Colbert. No, not Col-bert. He pronounces his name "Cole-bare" (spelled that way since Steven feels that bears are the numero uno "threat down" in America, and a man-meat couldn't possibly resist the word "bare.") A happy video birthday below the fold, as "they" call it.
Apparently he was raised by enlightened descendants of French Catholics, since his parents allowed all of their numerous kids the privilege of pronouncing their last name the way they want. Anyway, it's his birthday, so let's all celebrate the creator of "truthiness."
Rather than scope out the usual, here's the link to last year's birthday greetings, since I did a fairly good job honoring this "American idol." After you're done here, by all means go to the Comedy Central website and check out some of the other stuff he's done. Truly amazing.
Happy birthday Steven. Oh yeah - if you read this I must ask - has your wife forgiven you for the Jane Fonda "interview?" If not, oh well. Hazards of the trade and a great fantasy all wrapped up in one great package. Happy birthday, sweet Taurus. We out here in Strangelove land would rather have you as preznit than anyone running!
(Oh yeah - I'll wear one of your "bracelets" and will gladly pass it on to someone more famous, if I find someone more famous than me.) I and most readers here are definitely members of "Colbert Galactic," given what this site is about!
