Colbert and nuts.

I saw this interview of a certain Christopher Caldwell on The Colbert Report recently. Much fun happens when you pit one nutcase against another (Cobert is a faux nutcase, just so you know).

Caldwell has a book out on Islam and its proliferation in Europe. He quotes :

After the 2nd World War, Europe for the first time felt the need to import millions of people from outside of Europe to rebuild. And they expected these workers to go back home when they finished the work of reconstruction .. and they didn’t.

Heh .. like you didn’t see that coming !

If not for anything else, watch the video for this bit :

Caldwell : In France, two-thirds of the Imams are on welfare. There is nothing wrong with being an Imam. But the fact is they have less contact with the wider culture. So they get less Frenchified.

Colbert : You’re saying we should French Fry the Imams. You just said that !

Stephen Colbert at his improv best !

I do wonder how he manages to get these people on his show. Don’t they look up what the show is about ? A classic example is the birther Orly Taitz interview. He totally pwns her, and she doesn’t seem to get it at all !

(Their) god save them !
