Stephen Colbert's Top 7 Drug Moments

Submitted by smorgan on
In a shameless, yet brilliant, ploy to generate web traffic, comedy Central has compiled a list of their favorite drug-themed Stephen Colbert clips. It worked on me. Here's the link.

My personal favorite is when Stephen bids farewell to Marijuana Policy Project's Aaron Houston by saying "good luck destroying America." Aaron is the nicest guy you'll ever meet and the very notion that he's trying to destroy America is the perfect encapsulation of drug warrior paranoia.

The fact that Colbert has created a whole satirical routine surrounding the delusional mindset of the drug war cheerleaders is testament to the complete laughingstock that group has become.
