Well Said

I rarely watch Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, but I caught a few minutes of it tonight and found two lines very funny. Of the Congressional Democrats agreeing to send President Bush an Iraq war funding bill with no timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq, Steven Colbert remarked that the Democrats "cut and run from their own cut and run." And regarding the "compromise" immigration reform bill's inclusion of amnesty a "path to citizenship" for the 12 million or more illegal immigrants in this country, Colbert said it's like punishing the Hamburgler by giving him a Happy Meal.
