Steven Colbert on Jeremiah Wright

I absolutely love this clip:

Here’s a transcript of the last bit of the clip:

Colbert: When you see or hear things that are bad are going on in your church, you get up and you walk out! That’s what Catholics like me, and Papa Bear [his nickname for Bill O'Reilly] and Sean Hannity understand. You leave [...]
