Stephen Colbert meets John Mearsheimer

Watch this video. It seems as though Colbert is somewhat mocking Mearsheimer, but maybe I am wrong in that impression. Watch it and judge for yourself: http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/player.jhtml?ml_video=104544&ml_collection=&ml_gateway=&ml_gateway_id=&ml_comedian=&ml_runtime=&ml_context=show&ml_origin_url=/shows/the_colbert_report/videos/celebrity_interviews/index.jhtml&ml_playlist=&lnk=&is_large=true.

BH-Geek: I don't think you get it. Colbert is a 75% of a cog in the powerful Israel Lobby machine. In a recent interview with some genetics researcher who mapped out Colbert genetic map (based on what I didn't quite unsertand), Stephen was told that he stood a 75% chance of being of a Jew. That's why, Colbert announced in a later show that as a potential 75% Jew, he saw fit to observe 75% of Yom Kippur Fast, etc.

The interview was a lot of fun. Thanks for posting it. I linked to it in my blog.

Couldn't find a clip, but here is a quote:

"Let’s talk about my story, which is really the story of humanity.
I started off in Africa… so is there a chance I could be my own black friend?

It said that my branch of humanity was haplogroup K and that I am therefore related to Otzi the Ice Man… who was found murdered, on the top of a mountain… I will find your killer. It’s personal now.

[Graphic showing the 4 subgroups of Haplogoup K - 3 subgroups designated with by a star of David, the 4th, non-Jewish, designated with a jar of mayonnaise.

You know which of these Haplogroup K’s I belong to. Right now, as it stands, There’s a 3 out of 4 chance that I’m Jewish… thank you so much for joining us. Next year in Jerusalem."
