My glasses broke and I went to my eye doctor to get them fixed (a screw fell out). They told me the problem is that I remove my glasses with one hand pulling them a bit to the side. The correct way is to remove them with both hands pulling them straight off.
I responded that pulling them to the side is how Stephen Colbert removes his glasses when speaking to the camera. And this is what they told me.
Stephen Colbert is wrong.
He may be right when skewering the right wing and the press. But on the critical issue of how to properly remove your glasses, he is setting a bad example. If this goes on soon all liberal activists will be blind from following his example and breaking their glasses.
I'm sorry Stephen but if you are wrong on critical issues like eyeglass removal, how can we trust you on the less important issues like Iraq, oil, global warming, and all those other little problems?
