From the Pork Barrel: MLK vs. OWS

* Rep. Allen West says that Martin Luther King would not have supported Occupy Wall Street. Probably not. He'd have been too busy swimming in that Olympic-sized pool full of gold doubloons he was famous for.

* President Obama's jobs plan is looking like it just might be a bigger success than anyone expected. It's looking like it might maybe save one job. Maybe. (Two, if you count VP as a job.)

* The Obama administration has come out and accused Mitt Romney of wanting to be president. Considering the source, that might actually be some pretty damning criticism.

* Herman Cain is losing big time in the Pizza Caucus.

Coverage continues after the jump.

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