New motto? 'Kick Me State'
What is stand-up comedy going to do for material when Utah finally secedes from the Union?Last night for instance, Comedy Central's coverage of the election skewered the Beehive State three (3) times for cheap laughs. In a report on the Mormon church's $25 million in financial support for California's Prop 8, Jon Steward quipped:
If there is one value that the Mormon church has always held dear it is that marriage should be between one man . . . (long pause for laughs).Then he rolled into a gratuitous aside:
Quick Mormon fun fact — their church had to found its own state because America refused to tolerate how they got married. Anyway, that's how America got stuck with Utah.Colbert couldn't let it alone either. When Stewart called on all Americans to vote because it was the Olympics for out-of-shape people and had no doping tests:
Colbert topped his punchline:
Just to be safe, I hired a Mormon to pee in a cup for me.
