What can I really say about this man that you can’t learn from watching a video clip of his work?

In keeping in mind with this thought I was trying to figure out what video clip to use - and ultimately I decided that instead of posting a clip from his show (which I love) that it would be best to post this clip from The White House Correspondents Dinner.  To me it perfectly illustrates why Mr. Colbert is such an extremely valuable member of our society.
