Last night, Stephen Colbert agreed with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) who said that he takes President Obama "at his word" that he's a Christian. "Just like when Mitch McConnell says he's not a human-turtle hybrid I take him at his word," Colbert said. "And it's not easy. I have a strong desire to feed this man lettuce and raw hamburger."

LOL. He went to the turtle!

3. Does Colbert have a cite for this?

Because I don't know that I've ever heard Mr. McConnell - in so many words - deny that he is a human-turtle hybrid. Let's get his denial on the record, and have him submit to a DNA analysis so that he can prove he is not part of some nefarious reptile plot to take over the world and enslave humankind.

Otherwise, we have no choice but to conclude . . .

4. I understand Colbert's point.

But seriously, how else can you "know" someone is Christian except by his or her word? It's not like there's a blood test for it, as I imagine there would be for human-turtle hydridness.
