After hearing last night that President Obama expressed support for the Cordoba House Muslim community center, Stephen Colbert was quite penitent: “You know what, I’ve been wrong, and I owe the President an apology. You’re not a secret Muslim.”

Colbert was also unconcerned with those who argue that opposing the Cordoba House violates the First Amendment’s principle of religious freedom. “What about our ‘guts-titution?'” he asked. “Or the ‘Bill of Frights?'”

He added that since 9/11 we have given up a number of our rights, like “the right to privacy. I can’t make a phone call without hearing Dick Cheney breathing on the line.”
