Celebrating the return of The WØRD

A full episode guide of last night’s Colbert Report is still on the way but, for now, I’m delighting in the return of The WØRD. Bullet didn’t have a whole lot to do last night, but the McCain limerick alone makes this one worth its weight in gold.

There once was a man named McCain
Who had the whole White House to gain.
But he was quite a hobbyist,
Of boning his lobbyist,
So much for his ’08 campaign.

Hee! MotherLoad isn’t letting me in at the moment, but here’s the Comedy Central video, via Raw Story:

    I was SO happy to finally see a new Word on last night. There was lots of cheering and woo whooing for it’s return. Now I’m wondering how long “Warrior-Poet” will remain in the opening credits.

    I missed the Word badly too. I think it’s probably the best segment of the show. But I think the Word last night was a little off. First day back, and the Word is a bit rusty. Although he definitely had some good one-liners, it seemed a little unfocused. Meh, just an off day.

    I’m really looking forward to the Tony Snow interview.

    “I don’t vaguely suggest things … from behind.”
    Oh man, he is SO DARN CUTE! (rest of thought snipped for lack of family friendliness, but let’s just say Evelyn is one lucky lady)
