A Stephen Colbert segment on ACORN’s involvement in the 2010 U.S. Census is locally noteworthy for mentioning Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann’s opposition to the community organizing group. But it’s entertaining for the Comedy Central host’s other antics: serenading ACORN head Bertha Lewis — at length — with a song from “The Lion King” and revealing to Lewis that he has a Spain-shaped lesion on his netherparts.
Colbert begins his “Better Know a Lobby” segment with Fox News clips from Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly and Bachmann, who says she doesn’t “have a lot of confidence in ACORN going door to door asking personal information, handing it over to the federal government.”
To that, Colbert replies:
Exactly! The federal government should collect that information only through warrantless wiretaps!
Later, Colbert asks ACORN’s Lewis to take his version of the Census, which includes his query about the number of Lewis’ sexual partners. When she can’t definitively recall, he replies, “I’ll put you down for 20.”
When the tables turn and Lewis asks Colbert if he has any “embarrassing diseases,” he mentions a lesion in the shape of Spain (“but not Portugal”). You’ll have to watch to find out the location of Colbert’s owie:

Hey MNIndy, you seem to have been discovered by Bachmann’s true believer squad. They must think you are a threat since they jump on every Bachmann article.
So let me introduce their posts today with some lyrics from Emerson Lake & Palmer:
“Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends, we’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside”.
‘A crazy gypsy queen in a glaze of vaseline performs on guillotine, what a scene, what a scene.”
Come and see the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come and see the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
