Colbert Show Video

I wanted to share a couple of video clips from the Colbert Report. Now, typically, fundamentalist Baptists aren't Colbert's biggest fans, and, really, I think it's hidden somewhere that the SBC doesn't much approve of anything on the Comedy Channel. And there are some good reasons for that. Colbert, however, is quite sharp, and worth the occasional check-in. I think he's better than Jon Stewart, because it seems to me Colbert skewers both sides of a debate equally. He did, however, have a great interview with Bart Ehrman, and another good one with Queen Noor.

Bart Ehrman is supposedly a theologian. However, to make the job easier, he has decided that you can't really know anything about God, which means you can't pick on a theologian for just, well, making it up as he goes....



Her Majesty, Queen Noor, is the widow of the late King Hussein of Jordan. When he passed away and King Abdullah II and Queen Rania took the reins of the Hashemite Kingdom, Queen Noor needing something to pour her energy into. She was on Colbert the other day, talking about some of it. And since Colbert's funny, although sometimes irreverent, and he's also quite sharp, I thought it would be good to share their exchange:

Now, who seems to have a better head on their shoulders?

And isn't good Queen Noor is a good sport? Or would Colbert not have a head at all?
