The tweet actually came from Comedy Central's promotional @ColbertReport account, not Stephen Colbert's personal @StephenAtHome account. Pretty much all @ColbertReport does is quote lines from the show and link to the accompanying video on cc.com; while I've seen @StephenAtHome write "follow-ups" to things from the show, I don't think I've ever seen him just quote from the show verbatim. -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- -- TV or Not TV ....
