Colbert reading TPS

WRONG!

STEPHEN COLBERT’S FAVORITE BLOG, S.C. (TPS) - We’re big fans of The State’s Brad Warthen, but we were a little upset that we didn’t get an invitation to Sunday’s “Stephen Colbert Brunch” following the “Key to the City” event on the USC campus. Actually, we’re not that mad because it turned out to be a bunch of Dwight Drake’s good-ole-boy Democrat buddies, which means the event was probably about as fun as much fun as reading a Garfield comic strip (seriously, has that crap ever been funny?).

But what really annoyed us was the YouTube clip he posted Monday afternoon in which he coerced Colbert into saying, “I get all my South Carolina news from Brad Warthen’s blog.” Which is wrong, because everyone and their mother knows Colbert reads The Palmetto Scoop and ONLY The Palmetto Scoop.

Of course, poetic justice being what it is, Colbert immediately turned to Warthen and asked, “Which blog?”

Warthen not only has the video posted on the top of his blog, but he has a message proudly proclaiming, “Welcome to Stephen Colbert’s only South Carolina news source… Brad Warthen’s blog.” Again, wrong.

So if he wants a custody battle over Stephen, then a custody battle he shall have. It won’t really be fair though, since we were writing about Colbert before you even knew who he was. That’s right, we went there.

Anyway, if you’re reading this Mr. Warthen, then we’ll see you in court… the court of public opinion.

    Brad Warthen has a man crush on Steven Colbert.

    A very big man crush, it seems.

    First of all, let me point out an erroneous error in the caption for this article: “Brad Warthen thinks…” Stop right there! Brad Warthen is in no way capable of thought. Have you read his blog? I know I haven’t, and if I haven’t read it then it must not be worth a flying [expletive].

    I wouldn’t be caught dead with any politician in Columbia… then again, I wouldn’t be caught dead in Columbia. I can’t wait to write-in Stephen Colbert for president. This will be the first time in three elections that I won’t have to leave the “president” field blank.

    Contrary to popular belief, there are many South Carolinians who watch both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. It’s just that our votes don’t count in South Carolina.

    Keep up the good work at the Scoop. Tucker Carlson is still a dick, Sean Hannity is an [expletive], and Al Franken is a pedophile waiting to be discovered.

    Actually, it was posted (on the main page) on SUNDAY afternoon. That was the Director’s Cut on Monday, for the real freaks out there (like, apparently, this “willis” guy above).

    And what he said was, “What’s a blog?” Sorry about the poor sound quality; I was breaking in a new videographer.

    It doesn’t matter who tries to lay claim to the Colbert, the simple truth is this. Steven is a free republican who is every were, whether you want him there or not. He is even on my website when no one is looking. Yes, he knows what you were doing in the bathroom last night when no one was looking. So, in essence, the essence of Colbert is all around us.

    “which means the event was probably about as fun as much fun as reading a Garfield comic strip (seriously, has that crap ever been funny?).”

    The truth must be free of human error, Thats why Steven Cobert walks the face of the Earth. He could go to other planets, but he knows that only real Americans can handle the truth.
