Those who watched the Colbert Report last night — or caught the evening rerun today, as I just did — will be amused to know that Wikipedia’s page on African elephants, although it has now been protected to prevent further vandalism, at one point yesterday looked like this. Heh. [UPDATE:Video here.]
P.S. Also from last night’s episode of the Colbert Report:
“From Joe Lieberman, all you hear is all Iraq, all the time.” –Ned Lamont
Actually, the pot and the kettle here is the right wing blogosphere that has been blathering that the ONLY thing Lamont supporters– which is now apparently a hefty part of Connecticut– care about was the war. Lamont is campaigning on lots of issues. He’s never been a one issue candidate.
So who is the pot here and which the kettle? Mr. Pot Loy.
yeah, except for the fact that he came of ten time more sure about, well anything, than Liberman in his best interview. And at least 700% less whiny. Hey, that’s a great slogan. Connecticut, now with 700% less whiny ness.
The interesting thing is, having never seen Lamont before, it seemed to ME that all Lamont cared about was the war. When asked about whether he had any other differences with Lieberman, he really didn’t have a good answer.
Of course, seeing Colbert set out cocoa puffs, a chair, the CD, and Mystic River for Lieberman to sweeten the deal for Lieberman the next night was funny.
This conservative has officially been hooked by Colbert.
Oh, my favorite Elephant paragraph: “The number of african elephants has tripled in the last 4 months! The number of African elephants has tripled recently, according to Stephen Colbert. They are currently stampeding across Africa at an alarming rate. Babar has been getting busy.”
AHHH!! Its so weird its alarming! Also, great use of the Barbar has been getting busy line.
Nice. If you follow the links to Wikipedia in the article, you’ll see he makes the changes he describes during the show at about 6:30 EST (declaring Oregon Idaho’s Portugal and declaring that Washington never owned slaves) - which is before the show airs anywhere, during taping.
“Actually, the pot and the kettle here is the right wing blogosphere that has been blathering that the ONLY thing Lamont supporters– which is now apparently a hefty part of Connecticut– care about was the war. Lamont is campaigning on lots of issues. He’s never been a one issue candidate.”
If I believed something that ridiculous, I’d remain anonymous too. C’mon Mouse, own up to it :-)

This gets funnier and funnier.

The truth is that if Colbert wasn’t such a high profile person, that kind of Wikipedia entry could have remained up there for months.
