After discussing the Democrats' plan to finally free Republicans from their pledge to anti-tax zealot Grover Norquist and the possibility that they might take America off of the fiscal cliff in the beginning of the year for that to finally happen, Stephen Colbert found himself still haunted by "the Norquist."

In order to "appease him," Colbert ended up having to sacrifice a human baby to Grover, who he assured us all would be just fine once this was all over.

All of which was almost as frightening as the fact that this man has the actual stranglehold he does over our members of Congress these days.
