"Suck it, Washington, D.C. Suck it Dipped in Tang"

01.27.2012_colbert.jpg

After Newt Gingrich proposed that the U.S. establish a 13,000-person colony on the moon and grant it statehood earlier this week, Stephen Colbert used a segment on yesterday's Colbert Report to rub in the fact in a way that only he could: "Suck it, Washington, D.C. Suck it dipped in tang."

Thankfully, we know deep down that Colbert's repeated mentions of our lack of voting rights have actually raised more awareness than our traditional complaints.

  • i think a lot of the people cheering the "suck it DC" line were actually cheering against the "washington" part of town. even with as much time as colbert spends teaching people about the lack of a vote for us, i think it doesn't sink in with many people.

  • BombaySplashVermouth

    The only way to make the Tang dip better is with Astronaut Ice Cream.

  • DonKeysHoTea

    but the astronaut ice cream won't melt all over your... sorry, wrong stream

  • BombaySplashVermouth

    And that is why I give it to children of all ages.

  • NO TANG IN WARD 5!

  • So an attractive, well-dressed, personable and sane person raised more awareness to DC voting rights than a guy who slices his own junk? Who would have thought?

    You mean Newt?  Even if he is thrice married, I'm not sure I'd say he's attractive, well-dressed, personable and sane.  Come to think of it, Newt and Adrian may have a lot in common.

  • Morley1

    Don't forget we're behind Puerto Rico in the Newt Gingrich statehood line as well.

  • matthew731

    Well, they do have several times more people than us.  But they also don't pay income tax, and DC isn't exactly discussing independence...

  • AMDCer

    Jon Stewart mentioned it on Daily Show, too.

  • CJ_Scudworth

    The degree to which they cover the same topics is actually getting kind of annoying.

  • What about their SuperPAC?

  • SpeakSoftlyCarryABigStick

    "Suck it, dipped in Tang" is my new tag line.

  • DonKeysHoTea

    mine too! we'll have to coordinate so we're not at the same bar- don't want to get 'tag-line-blocked'

  • Pete_eats

    I don't understand these "taglines." I must be new here. (are they for disqus accounts only?) 

  • PedanticMFr

    I think, "I don't understand these "taglines"." is a better tagline. A little meta.

  • lemkam

    I'm surprised nobody has laid claim to "sociopathic pussy-hound"

  • Kittyliteral

    I think you just stumbled on your tag line:  "I must be new here."

  • Yes. Go to your dashboard and fill out your profile.

  • Thankfully, we know deep down that Colbert's repeated mentions of our lack of voting rights have actually raised more awareness than our traditional complaints.

    Wait, I thought the Adrian Parsons Project was good enough for you?

  • He raised more awareness for the rats than any lack of representation...

  • DCTransplant

    And foreskin issues.

  • Kev29

    The following Comedy Central program has been Austermuhled

  • Newhce

    Jesus, can't you just say "look for it at 1:30?"

  • Benjamin Freed

    First, you're not a big reader. And now you can't even sit through 90 seconds of TV?

  • Like buttah, Ben is on a roll.

  • Benjamin Freed

    Newhce would expect for the roll to be pre-chewed.

  • Newhce

    I'm on a conf. call, I'm trying to get something else written--I want my information in bitesize nuggets.

  • SpeakSoftlyCarryABigStick

    I always knew he was a Ferengi!

  • Jon Stewart had a bit last night as well...

  • Kittyliteral

    That's lying down.

  • DCTransplant

    So I see Ben has decided not to take it laying down anymore.

  • CJ_Scudworth

    Bah, you ruined it. I was just about to complain about the lack of verbiage
