Last night, Stephen Colbert said he didn’t think much of Pastor Terry Jones’ threats to burn copies of the Koran on September 11: “He just threatened to burn the Koran. And threatening to burn stuff, that’s just negotiating. That’s how I got such a good deal on my Audi.”
But Colbert did agree with Jones’ logic that burning Korans was a push to stop construction on the Park51 Islamic center. “Exactly,” he said. “Destroying a religious symbol and building a religious center are really the same thing if you don’t think about.”
“I’ll tell you who really has thought about it,” Colbert added. “Sarah Palin’s Facebook page.”
