Colbert Was Not Impressed by Gay Poet Richard Blanco: VIDEO
Stephen Colbert took apart Obama's inauguration last night, "yawning to life" for poet Richard Blanco.
Said an exasperated Colbert:
Would it kill you to throw a rhyme in there? It's a poem. It's not that hard. Here--
There once was a man named Barack
Whose reelection came as a shock
He raised taxes I pay, and then turned marriage gay..
And now he's coming after your glock.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

There once was a man named Colbert
Who shone as a jester on air.
He made lots of money
being quite funny
but his sense of free verse was unfair.

Funny enough, I've never been impressed by Colbert.

So can anyone name who is it that this poet guy looks like? It's some comedic actor who does New York whiny guy.
