Stephen Colbert, I am America and so can you“
“Now, you may ask yourself, if by yourself you mean me, Stephen, if you don’t like books, why did you write one?” You just asked yourself a trick question. I didn’t write it. I dictated it. I shouted it into a tape recorder over the Columbus Day weekend, then handed it to my agent and said, “Sell this.” He’s the one who turned it into a book. It’s his funeral.
But I get your “drift.” Why even dictate?
Why, like a lot of other dictators, there is one man’s opinion I value above all others. Mine.
