I nominate Stephen Colbert as Time magazine's Man of the Year

I know it's a little early, but hear me out ... Time uses the most newsworthy person of the year as Man (Woman) of the Year.

And last night's double dose of Colbert on CBS and YouTube was a spectacular news story and bravery as its finest. I just hope CBS doesn't do something terrible to him.

But Colbert has been (and now will continue to be) one of the biggest the watercooler subjects in the country, especially as the final day of his show gets closer. You go, Stephen!!

For those who didn't see them, here is his YouTube volley at Brendan Carr and his interview with Tallarico.

Another once great institution destroyed for the benefit of Orange Asshole and a small group of criminally insane billionaires.

If for no other reason, that would give Trump a stroke that would kill him.
