Two important Colbert videos (embedded for your viewing pleasure, as always)

(both links via Amy's post.)

First, Stephen Colbert debates himself on Embryonic Stem Cell research:



And now, a rather stressful interview that Colbert did with Bill Donohue:



(great zinger about the Da Vinci code, eh?)

I think Donohue was a little nervous.

Anyway, my question: how long before the Colbert backlash? How long before people realize that Colbert's proud catholicism is not "part of the act" but actually "real Colbert." Will his comedic genius save the day? I hope so, but I'm not too sure.

Perhaps we can expect a book from Colbert outlining his beliefs eventually. I can't imagine that a great mind like Colbert would exit the public stage without voicing his opinion sans the satirical mask. If you ask me, he's slowing been removing it already.
