Stephen Colbert Zitate

Stephen Tyrone Colbert [koʊlˈbɛər] ist ein US-amerikanischer Satiriker.

Bekannt wurde er für seine Auftritte in der Daily Show, bevor er von 2005 bis 2014 die Nachrichtensatire The Colbert Report bekam. In dieser spielte er die satirisch überzeichnete Rolle der Kunstfigur eines demagogischen, rechtspopulistischen Fernsehmoderators, der ebenfalls Stephen Colbert heißt . Indem er die Argumentationsweise rechter Moderatoren, wie sie insbesondere für Fox News typisch sind, parodistisch auf die Spitze trieb, versuchte Colbert, diese in ihren Widersprüchen zu entlarven. Im Jahr 2007 veröffentlichte er das Satire-Buch I Am America , das die zentralen Vorstellungen des von ihm gespielten Charakters zusammenfasst. Mitte 2011 trat er selbst in den Präsidentschafts-Wahlkampf ein und begann, anhand von selbstgegründeten Wahlkampfspendenorganisationen die Funktionen und Dysfunktionalitäten der amerikanischen Wahlkampffinanzierung offenzulegen. Seit September 2015 moderiert er als Nachfolger von David Letterman die Late Show. Wikipedia

“But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works: the president makes decisions. He's the Decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know — fiction.”

“That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. I know some of you are going to say "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book. Next time, look it up in your gut. I did. My gut tells me that's how our nervous system works.”
