so if you want an even stronger statistic, you could say a hundred percent of attorneys general told to say it wasn t torture agree it wasn t torture! flap flap current c.i.a. director brennan. i certainly agree there were times when c.i.a. officers exceeded the policy guidance that was given, but we re not a perfect institution. jon: do not judge lest ye be judged. to put it in terms you d understand, that gap s big enough to drive a tube filled with pureed hummus through. what is wrong with these guys? sounds like they re introducing even the smallest hint of nuance to the conversation. never thought i would say those two giving aid and comfort to the enemy. perhaps time for an american to be on the program. one of our nation s founding fathers. are you ready for this? and now! stepping into the ring! a 5 8 , the dark curtain from halliburton, the blaster from caspar, more machine than man! dick the dick cheney! you said earlier this week torture was something that
here in new york, tighty whitey bulger continues his run for mayor. this is is the colbert report. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] stephen, stephen, stephen! tephen: welcome to the report. good to have you with us. thank you, in here, out there. listen, america and all the ships at sea, folks, if you watch this show and i hope you do you know that i am a proud supporter and occasional savior of the winter olympics. in 2010, the colbert nation sponsored the u.s. speedskaters who took home the gold but, folks, i m no hero. i m the guy who funded the hero so i m more important than the hero. but a new crisis may force me to dust off my red, white and blue nuthugger. jim? the winter olympics in russia are just about six months away and there is growing controversy over new antigay laws and about the safety of gay people visiting russia. also gay athletes. a russian law unanimously passed in parliament allows for fines and arrests over anything deemed gay
because, folks, i gotta tell ya, i come to you tonight a shaken man. because recent revelations have proven that the american people were systematically and repeatedly lied to. for more, let s go to my colleague brett baier. last night was the big night, the airing of the discovery channel s eaten alive, where a man offered himself up to be consumed by an anaconda. many viewers found the payoff tough to swallow. turns out the snake sort of put his mouth around his head and the guy tapped out, pull me out, pull me out, and that was it. 70 minutes into the show, rosolie tapped out saying the snake was about to break his arm. so he was not eaten alive, not even a scratch. stephen: for shame, discovery channel! you promised paul rosolie would be eaten! hence the title eaten alive . but you only gave us cuddled alive ! that s just snake first base. and i m not the only one angry. twitter tweeted, next time i watch something called #eatenalive, somebody better get eaten
