On Monday night’s “The Colbert Report” on Comedy Central, Stephen Colbert listed badgers as his No. 1 threat of the week in his “Threat Down,” citing an Australian report of human flesh-eating badgers terrorizing the Iraqi port city of Basra.
Citing the importance of fighting the badgers “over there” so “they don’t burrow here,” he changed his tune mid-sentence.
“Just to be safe, as a preemptive measure, I say we carpet bomb the University of Wisconsin,” added Colbert. “Bucky. Bucky — that sounds like an Arab name.”
