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 that church!

Unless it’s, you know, widespread decades-long rumours of sexual abuse. In that case, you gotta give it time. The church has its own processes; we don’t understand it!

The point is, all any Catholic pundits and Catholic politicans who may be criticizing Obama are saying is: “Do as we say, not as we didn’t”.
