Orrin, Comedy Central's patron saint
We all know how important Orrin Hatch is to Teddy Kennedy. But have you ever asked yourself: "Where would Stephen Colbert and all of Comedy Central be without Orrin?" Utah's creepy and sanctimonious senator is the comedians' gift that keeps on coughing up material.

Many would think Orrin's goofy assed CD, Amazed by America, that he distributed to every member of the Senate is goofy beyond parody. But Colbert rose to the challenge, claiming that Hatch ripped off his own CD, Blown Away by the USA, which includes the lyric, "I wanna go-a to American Samoa."

"Colbert is a Gay Jackass." You say that like it's a bad thing.

I love that Glen used Orrin and goofy in the same sentence. We think it - we just don't see it in writing!

Orrin is "Utah's creepy and sanctimonious senator"... There's the understatement of the year.
