Colbert on National Day of Prayer
On the Colbert Report, Colbert showed Fox complaining about Obama saying that their family prays in private and won’t do a big spectacle. Gretchen Carlson: “This was an interfaith recognition day, why would you [pray] behind closed doors?” Colbert: “Exactly! By closing the doors on his prayers, Obama is letting us down almost as much as Jesus did when he said in the Gospel of Matthew, ‘Whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door.’”
I haven’t had a chance to watch Colbert recently – but this made me go look up that show.
I liked the holy cross cheetos, myself. And the acknowledgment that special prayer hands made it really tough to eat them.
(From a newspaper article talking about that scene – apparently that was Colbert going easy on them, because there are much more direct quotes about people who show off their faith publicly…)
