I think I figured out why the Colbert Report suspended production last week. His mother was fine, Stephen just had to take a couple days to infiltrate the Indiana state legislature, where he managed to convince everyone he was freshman representative Bob Morris from Fort Wayne.

I mean, this IS a Stephen Colbert joke, right?
Quote:
After talking to some well-informed constituents, I did a small amount of Web-based research, and what I found is disturbing. The Girl Scouts of America and their worldwide partner, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), have entered into a close strategic affiliation with Planned Parenthood. You will not find evidence of this on the GSA/WAGGGS website—in fact, the websites of these two organizations explicitly deny funding Planned Parenthood.
...
The fact that the Honorary President of Girl Scouts of America is Michelle Obama, and the Obama's are radically pro-abortion and vigorously support the agenda of Planned Parenthood, should give each of us reason to pause before our individual or collective endorsement of the organization.

An excerpt from the response from a representative of the Girl Scouts.

Not only is Rep. Morris off the mark on his claims, it's also unfortunate in his limited research that he failed to discover that, since 1917, every first lady has served as the honorary leader of Girl Scouts, including Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Laura Bush.

See? Clearly all part of an elaborate sketch on the Colbert Report, right?
Right? Sigh.
