This cartoon from Al Gore's Current TV had the temerity to label poor little Sarah Palin — who never said an unkind word about another human being — as a "Twilf" and showed her Twitter handle as being "Gun-Ho."

Obviously, this is the biggest scandal ever in the history of these United States of America…

That bit at the end, with Glenn Beck gleefully hurling his own feces at detractors, that seemed unfair.

He'd almost certainly be crying.

* One in twelve New Jerseyans even dumber than you think they are.

* I'll bet I could spend all 24,000,000,000 hours of the day reading through the #michellemalkinmath hashtag on Twitter.

* Orly Taitz is just like an honorable version of Nelson Mandela.

* Is Bill O'Reilly endorsing socialism?

* Consider Philadelphia's two biggest issues — money and cheesesteaks — solved! Thanks, Dr. Phil!

* Oh, like the president in the $3,000 suit is gonna listen to this guy? Come on!

* I've got an idea! Let's dig up Ronald Reagan's putrefied corpse again and ask him what he thinks about socialized medicine! (Spolier alert: He doesn't like it.)

* And, while we're at it, let's drag the ghost of Terri Schiavo into this. (Spolier alert: Barack Obama wants to kill her grandmother.)

* And, finally, this article from Esquire is the next worst thing to actually hanging out with Orly Taitz for the day.

Now that Stephen Colbert has thrown his support behind the birther movement, I'm ready to take this thing to the next level. Not only don't I know where Barack Obama was born, but I've never met him in person, so I don't even know if he's not a computer generated apparition on my TV. Until I can see him with my own eyes, touch him with my own hands and taste him with my own tongue, Obama is an illegitimate President! Why are you so afraid to let me taste you, Mr. Obama?

After the jump, Stephen sits down with Orly Taitz, the lawyer/dentist behind the birther movement. Orly? Yarly!

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