What are they going to do, fire him?

Post by Scooter »

Stephen Colbert on CBS's order not to air interview with James Talarico, and to not say why it wouldn't air.

Skip forward to 1:30

"When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime."

If you want to watch the interview, it is here:

"When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime."

But wait, it gets better. In the face of all the blowback, CBS decides to put out CYA statement backpedalling like crazy, and Colbert was having none of it:

"When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime."
