In the midst of the engrossing culture wars brought to you every day by the selfless and professional 24-hour news media, there is one question that I would like to bring up, that I feel has been left to the wayside. Is Stephen Colbert a Great Living American or the Greatest Living American? I am, of course, referring to the man who coined what was chosen by the most prestigious American English organization, the American Dialect Society, as the most important new word of the year in 2005, 'truthiness.' Moreover, who, other than the Decider, has enough authority to call out an entire branch of the U.S. Government, as Stephen did, openly wondering whether or not Congress is a bunch of "wussies".
I'm sure that this is a question that is going to spread through the internet like Mao's prairie fire, so I'll leave it at that for now until later, but for now, let me just say that Stephen Colbert is obviously the Greatest Living American.
