Oh, Colbs.

"Folks, you know I've never liked chess.  I'm a traditionalist.  If I want to lose to a computer at something, I'll just try to update Windows."

I forgot how clever Colbert is.

"Now, nation, there are some people who complain that political discourse in this country has become too polarised, overheated. Well, I hope those people get shot."

"I am a big supporter of great ideas never being implemented."
