No stranger to controversy, Stephen Colbert dared to put in a brief good word for Nazis on Wednesday’s episode of “The Colbert Report.”
Colbert was heartened by the burst of bipartisanship surrounding “The No Social Security For Nazis Act,” a bill unanimously passed by the House on Wednesday that closed a loophole allowing Nazis living in the United States to collect Social Security.
“It is the most popular bill to come out of Congress since, ‘No Pre-K for the KKK,'” Colbert said.
“Folks,” he continued, “it’s inspiring to see both parties join hands to declare with one voice: Nazis are bad.”
The host then delivered a personal thank you to Nazis for getting Congress to agree on something. He warned his enemies not to take the clip out of context.

See!
I knew some good would finally come of The Third Reich.
(Somewhere, Mike Godwin is facepalming.)

Is this a little late in coming? I mean, how many Nazis could be left that were receiving SS benefits? 3?
Update: Looks like the do-nothing congress might have saved us tax payers almost $1M dollars!
Wow…budget crisis solved! And it only took congress over 60 years to figure out this was a bad thing!
The other good thing to come out of that was my mother…in one piece.
After all the great work with the CIA, CBS and NASA, it’s time goose-step met lock-step…
