Pulpit Endorsements
Colbert riffed on an effort to require the government not only to give churches tax breaks but let them endorse candidates. I'm not really totally against this idea. The pulpit should be a free speech zone. Some lines, like not turning churches into campaign HQs or something can be imagined. Most religious leaders rather not do it anyhow.
