Stephen Colbert, “America’s most famous Catholic” made the keynote address at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. Chris Matthews, also Catholic, not only provides this snippet of some of Stephen’s best one-liners, but is pleased to know that there is a cure for ‘Hardball’ under Obamacare.
Giggles aside, it occurs to me that Smith, the first Catholic Presidential nominee, would now be considered a radical ‘commie’ by the Republican Right. The former Governer of New York fought for government housing, public schools and labor laws to protect women and children. What frippery! The times they are a changin’.
