    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    Well, that's the plan, anyway. Movie projects have been known to
    change plans as they proceed. We can but hope.

    Who is he, and what qualifies (or disqualifies) him for the job? alt.fan.tolkien has a thorough discussion of this issue.
    As for me, if PJ approved him, he is disqualified.

    Who is he,

    "Stephen Tyrone Colbert is an American comedian, writer, producer,
    political commentator, actor, and television host."



    and what qualifies (or disqualifies) him for the job?

    'Qualifies": He's an over-egoed celebrity with piles of money and
    over-hyped influence. He's also an obsessive Tolkien
    fan who finagled a cameo appearance in one of
    The Hobbit movies.

    'Disqualifies': He is an American comedian, writer, producer,
    political commentator, actor, and television host,
    with a massive ego.

    Sounds like a buddy of J.D. Vance, who is alleged to be a Tolkien fan.

    Colbert is no fan of Trump the Chump though. Trump basically got him
    fired from "The Late Show", as Trump always does with anyone who has
    more intelligence than him or simply disagrees with him.
