Chaffetz v. Colbert

You may have noticed a link in our sidebar to video of Stephen Colbert's meeting with Utah Congressional Representative Jason Chaffetz. At the climax of that interview, Colbert handily beat Chaffetz in a leg wrestling match. I assume this was especially painful for Chaffetz, who is a former place kicker for BYU, and ought to at least have a little competitive pride, if not also a somewhat strong leg. (Okay, I admit that the assumption that place kickers have pride may be a bit of a stretch.)

Anyway, Colbert now returns, having seen video of Chaffetz appearing on Utah's Fox affiliate, wherein Chaffetz said he wanted a rematch. I just loved Colbert's response, enough to insert it straight into the heart of the blog.

I still don't get how the host KILLED him everytime. Weird and embarrasing.
