Ethan Nadelmann (Drug Policy Alliance) on The Colbert Report tonight --- Great venue for coverage and Ethan did a GREAT job!!
It's hilarious -- both Ethan and Stephen are hyped up and having fun going after each other.
Colbert: You think we have lost the war on drugs and we should just give up on it.
Nadelmann: Oh, we have lost the war on drugs.
Colbert: Sir, we have lost the war on drugs when we withdraw from the war on drugs. While we're still in it, we haven't lost it. I say we send 20,000 more troops in. That'll do it.
Good. Ethan used the figures on U.S. having 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prison population. "We lead the world in locking up our fellow citizens."
Colbert: I'm thinking about cutting off your mic. ...
Nadelmann: "You gotta get drunk to watch O'Reilly, but half your audience probably lit up a joint before they turned on your show tonight."
Colbert: Look. I can't control what they do. All I can do is pass judgement.
Ethan calls Colbert a communist.
Colbert calls for making Smith Brothers throat lozenges illegal.
The whole thing was over so fast it was hard to keep up.
-------- Great Show! Make sure and catch a rerun of it tomorrow if you didn't catch it tonight!!
