Colbert on ACORN

I am a fair-weather friend of both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, I must admit. But these guys really hit their strides during the political season, so that's when I can't resist watching.

Here's Colbert's take on the final debate:

"John McCain had no compunction about pointing the finger at the true enemies of America: Community groups who've turned in fake voter registration forms. [Quote from McCain: ACORN is "on the verge of perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history of this country and maybe destroying the fabric of democracy."]

"Thank you, Senator. The fabric of democracy is being destroyed by ACORN. I am so tired of hearing people say it was being destroyed by concentrating unchecked power in the Executive Branch or politicizing the Justice Department or condoning torture or warrantless wiretapping of American citizens. It was actually destroyed by homeless people filling out registration forms with the name Mickey Mouse!"
