Colbert Defends Confederate History Month

On last night's Colbert Report, Stephen discussed the controversy surrounding Confederate History Month. Apparently, the political correctness police are insisting Southerners acknowledge slavery when celebrating a war they fought over slavery. But that's ridiculous. I suppose I'm not allowed to remember the time I threw a basket of puppies down a flight of stairs without mentioning the puppies now. Can't I just focus on the basket, the stairs and the sweet pair of slacks I was wearing that day?

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30pm / 10:30c.
