Most of our reader mail consists of entreaties to Stephen and/or Jon to cover local scandals, or suggestions for jokes or guests for the show. We kind of delete them immediately because this isn't the right place (sorry, some of the ideas are really good).
But sometimes a gem like this comes in and the reader must be rewarded.
Mr. Colbert -
I have been a steady admirer of yours since the days of your enhancement of the Jon Stewart Show and have admired your non sense of color and truthiness. I find that I too am color blind to race and have been stressing on how to help you find a new black friend after the unexplained loss of yours.
Recently I have made a new black friend and therefore find myself with more riches than I can find time for and am therefore willing to donate my spare black friend (people tell me he is black. I hope it isn't a cruel joke at my expense) to you.
He is friendly, has a fine sense of humor, hard working and loyal. I think that you would enjoy his companionship in those late hours when you find yourself alone.
Here's his picture should you wish to examine the donation before accepting it.
Sincerely,
Terry

AFLAC does a commercial with Yogi Berra is a barber shop and after his final comment;
"and they give you cash which is just as good as money", the aflac duck goes out the door shaking his head and quacking.
This would be a perfect shot after Dubya says something totally stupid, which should give the duck a lot of air time.
because we're racist? or because we're white?
You guys are stupid
i'm racist cus it's funny
i'm funny 'cause i'm a racist.
it's funny cause the older guy looks like he'd be racist, but he doesn't see color!
i'm funny 'cause i'm white.
it's funny 'cause he's white.
