Stephen Colbert Predicted the Future!

On November 7th, 2000, at 10:02 PM, Stephen Colbert nailed the upcoming Bush presidency, before Fox even called Florida for Bush.

Here's the exchange:

Stewart: Stephen, are you seeing parallels with tonights election? A country flush with prosperity, two young, energetic candidates perhaps ready to lead us back to Camelot?

Colbert:No, I'm getting more of a 'Nam vibe. You know, unwinnable wars, inescabable downward spiral, chaos in the streets. That sort of thing."

Is there anything the man can't do?

From the Drexel Democrats

PS: Drexel Univeristy is hosting the October Democratic Presidential Debate.

•   The day Bush announced

  I called all my friends and told them to prepare for war. The hairs on my neck stood up the first time I heard his name put forward in a serious way. Everyone should of seen this coming, the Republicans did, it was what they wanted.

  •  I wasn't that prescient

    But on 9/10/2001 a colleague and I were discussing the state of the economy and I mentioned it usually took a war to get things moving again. The next day as we watched the events unfold I turned to him and said, there's our war.
