Colbert goes after Breitbart for US Attorney General Lies and correcting incorrect info - not really though.

On last night’s episode of The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert attacked conservative media outlet Breitbart’s handling of an article in which it incorrectly identified Barack Obama’s nominee for Attorney General as a lawyer who had defended the Clintons during Whitewater.
“This weekend,” Colbert began, “he named his choice to succeed Attorney General Eric Holder — US Attorney Loretta Lynch.”
He then cut to a clip of Lynch at a press conference, where she said, “I wake up every morning with protecting the American people as my first thought.”
“Her first waking thought is protecting the American people?” Colbert replied. “Apparently she’s got better things to do while she’s asleep. I’m sorry, I guess she’s too busy riding a unicorn to a test she’s late for — naked.”
“Folks,” he continued, “the fact is that Lynch just isn’t qualified for the job. I read all about it over the weekend when Breitbart journalist, and Wilford Brimley-tribute head, Warner Todd Huston blew the lid off the scandal that Lynch was ‘part of Bill Clinton’s Whitewater probe defense team in 1992.’”
