NOTABLE MOMENTS
- New word in the credits: “Freem.” Freem?!
- He talked to the police, but may I point out he did not molest the secret police.
- I am drunk with anticipation … and Triple Sec.
- “A Sunni, A Shiite, and A Curd Blow Up A Bar …”
- A “surge” is masculine, it’s aggresive, like “He tore off her space bodice, and surged into her loins.” [Tek Jansen, pg. 374]
- And Homeland … Secure [And Redecorated By Remaining Gays]
- That’s constructive critcism.
- Ms. Jolie, who cares what the law in Malowi allowi.
- Let me tell you something, if Preity Zinta is there, you better f**ing show up!
- The eagle graphic
- There’s power in this show and I always knew it.
- Bobby, hit me one time! Hit me two times!
- Brown cowboy boots with a black suit?!
- Too slow on that Bobby. $50 fine.
- From everyone here at The Colbert Report – HAAA!
Fangirl Suit Report: Black suit with crisscross pinstripes, White shirt with barrel cuffs, Maroon patterned tie, brown cowboy boots

DB – I believe the pattern of his suit is called “windowpane.” So sayeth GQ and Esquire. It was a touch too big though; his tie was so pretty and had to hide shyly behind his lapels, just barely peeking out. Perhaps his Brooks Brothers dresser is out sick and some amateur was filling in. Harrumph.
This was a great episode, from 00:00 to 21:41. I loved the character breaks – they’re so sweet and so fleeting. Can’t wait for tonight! It’s an illness, I tell you, a grave illness . . .

Do you think this link might be a possible explanation for “freem”? I’m not sure – here it’s someone’s name, not a word, but it seems SO close…

Re the Bollywood stuff… it kind of wasn’t that funny because, actually, Preity Zinta *is* a huge gigantic star in India and if there was a party with her there, and you were a Bollywood social climber, you really had better f**ing show up.
And Amitabh Bachchan? He’s more like the equivalent of Al Pacino… or really, more like a combination of Al Pacino and Elvis… there really isn’t a Hollywood movie star who compares to his level of godlike status in India.
Shahrukh Khan is more like the Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise type.

I agree that Colbert is very much like an illness. Someone help me! And btw, I love his answer to the virginity question. Thanks for your blog!
