I really enjoyed how Colbert satirically defended the "douchebag" as Dan Savage dubbed him yesterday. It's kind of sad when the Colbert Report reads more into a subject on a story than the local newspaper.

I was cracking up while watching this last night - mostly because to the non-Seattlite gasworks probably seemed like the most unappealing place to have a 4th of July picnic.

as soon as he said "war on the 4th of july", I just knew it was going to be about that guy and gas works. it's pretty embarassing really.

Too bad this uber-twat has managed to grab so much media attention, just as he planned.

Glad that Colbert seen the bigger picture; no one in Seattle seemed to.

@4: Also the Benny Hill theme, hence the reference. That song + sped-up video almost always equals funny.

Hey Cato,

Everyone in Seattle sees the bigger picture. This twit isn't even from Seattle.
