Cobert breaks character to talk about the election...

Colbert also noted with obvious approval that when the Constitution was written, "the theory was that if you had three equal branches of government, they'd be too busy fighting amongst themselves to oppress the people." But then -- moving for the moment back into his right-wing pundit persona -- he added that "while checks and balances are great in theory ... the Constitution is not a suicide pact. In a time of extraordinary danger, executive power must be extraordinary."

The writer's strike seemed to really stall Cobert's campaign though.
