Did Stephen Colbert Cry? You Betcha'
Breaking character
 

So Comedy Central hosted a live Indecision '08 telecast last night with Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, and it's going around the net that this video involves Colbert breaking out of his conservative persona and tearing up a little bit after Obama is announced the winner.

Maybe? It's sort of up in the air, he could just be really tired, or trying to kill time until all the immense shrieking from the audience dies down.

If you look at the whole segment, you can see he was prepping for the next bit. Getting those goggles and things out for the last segment of the show.

"Seriously, what kind of giant homo cries after a historic election like this?" Wow, a gay slur, you are a genius and classy to boot. Homo is not an insult, you closeted, shamed-based moron. See, THAT is an insult…duh. Anyway, hurray for Obama!

Hey Anne, don't be silly. It was a joke. If you watch Colbert you should recognize the satirical style :).

Wow. Karl, Gabe. You two should hook up. If you can't come out of the closet, at least consider merging them. Then again who needs more than one set of carhearts?

Both Colbert and Stewart cried. Stewart admitted it to Chris Wallace on The Daily Show last night.

Yes they cried and so did I.

It's nice to have hope again and not have a leader like "howdy doody" anymore.

Yes We Can!

Jordan, thanks for the suggestion about the closet, but I am already sharing it happily with Malia and Sasha Obama. I prefer kids to men any day you homo lover. And if you're going to end your comment with an "insult" at least spell it right you inbred piece of trash. It is spelled CARHARTT…but you were close. Good luck on the next 5th grade spelling bee Jordan. I'm rooting for you!

I think that both Colbert and Stewart were crying; Colbert used it as an excuse to put on the goggles, but I thought he was more obvious about it than Stewart. They both did have to look away from the camera for a bit though.
