For those that arent following it. On the colbert report, he called BKP the Mormon pope, or "Mope". And he just did a fix on that, heres a quote from the show.

"Before we start tonight, a rare correction is in order. On Thursday I identified Boyd K Packer as the President of the Mormon Church... or as I call him, the Mormon Pope, or 'Mope'. He is not. He is the current Acting President of the Council of Twelve Apostles of the Mormon Church. That would make him something like a Mormon Cardinal... or Mardinal. Apparently the real Mope is 'Gordon B Hinckley'. Got the job in 1995, but he can't be doing all that great of a job if I don't know who he is. So time for Hinckley to go! See, rather than retract my statement misidentifying Boyd K Packer, I'm calling on the Mormon Church to issue a correction by making Boyd K Packer the Mope. [cheering in audience] And make Packer's Mopeship retroactive as of last Thursday. That shouldn't be a problem for you Mormons. If you can retroactively baptise George Washington, you can retroactively make me look right!"

I thought this was too funny not to post. Besides, he does have a point, hehe.

That is funny. I'll bet some TBM out there is already whining about persecution.

At the end of this "correction," over Colbert's shoulder, was a big picture of GBH with an "X" over it, with a big pic of BKP to the side (without the "X," of course). Great stuff!

RFOL -- a great laugh to start my day. Colbert is awesome.

I hope the LDS have a sense of humor and don't go jihad on us unbelievers.

LOL. As Homer Simpson would say, it's funny cuz it's true. Hinckley is about as relevant to the world as Buck F. Johnson, this one guy I know.

I love Colberrrr! I have a fantasy of watching TV with my TBM sister, he comes on, I say, "that guy is a Mormon returned missionary conservative republican," and see how long it takes her to figure it out, if ever. But it won't happen because I never watch TV with my sister. Oh, well.
