frandroidMerriam-Webster names Stephen Colbert's "truthiness" as Word of the Year.
Colbert, in character, mocked the folks at Merriam-Webster, calling them "word police" and a bunch of "wordinistas."
"Though I'm no fan of reference books and their fact-based agendas, I am a fan of anyone who chooses to honour me."
Merriam-Webster's top word of 2005 was "integrity."
Which leads me to the current question floating in my mind recently: Could the Colbert Report, and to a a lesser extent the Daily Show, remain funny during a Democratic administration?
