I think its funny myself!!!

I saw something about this on the news! The clip is pretty funny. (But I'm not from Canton!)

Speaking as a lifelong Canton resident, I am offended.

I thought you were from the Hoxie area????

Maybe....

AWwww. are you mad that I busted you?
I would like to think that even those who are from Canton would be able to pick up the scarcasm of Colbert.

It was funny, sheesh...

Most people from Canton just say they're from McPherson, anyway.

Saw this on the news. Young fellow they interviewed seemed pleased that his town was mentioned for any reason. Thought it might drum up a little tourism. They invited Colbert to visit their town.

Had a few beers in their tavern many years ago.Decent people to drink with.

See, told you it was funny.....

I laughed my silly arse off when I saw this. You can tell that he is clearly joking, laughing with us as he says it. Of course it is a joke. And, this may be the only time EVER that Canton Kansas was mentioned on the news. So, they get some publicity from it.

Laugh and have fun I say. There are too many BAD things that are serious and worth our attention. Why not have a little fun here.

I liked Gov Seb's response as well. WE can get you bucked off of something!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Stephen Colbert has a standing invitation from Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to spend a night in the historic jail in Canton, Kan.

Colbert, host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," jokingly insulted the town of 800 residents Wednesday night, saying, "You can smell that dump all the way from Topeka." Canton, in McPherson County, is about 105 miles southwest of the capital.

Colbert's remarks came as he apologized to Canton, Ga., for calling it crappy last week. He said he actually meant the Kansas town.

Sebelius mailed and faxed him a letter Thursday. She said it was a shame that he had missed the McPherson County Fair, "where we surely could have gotten you bucked off something."

She then extended the invitation for a night in jail.

To me, there is something very funny about taking something straight from the AP wire, publishing it here, and including the Copyright statements that indicates that this very act of publishing is against the law. Ha ha
