Though Stephen Colbert said last night that he disagrees with Helen Thomas’s remarks that the Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine,” he wanted to give his friend the chance to be remembered for something “more noble.”

So he invited Thomas to come on his show and eat a plate of fifty hamburgers. That way, said Colbert, “people won’t think of you as an anti-Semitic reporter, but as the cool old lady with the Guinness world record for most beef consumed in an hour.”
