Stephen Colbert figured out last night how Sharron Angle is pulling ahead in the Nevada Senate race: “What’s the secret to the popularity of Angle’s policies? That she keeps her policies a secret.”
Angle has repeatedly dodged the press during her campaign, even going so far as to using decoys to fool reporters.
“Bravo Miss Angle,” Colbert said as he put up a picture of Saddam Hussein. “It has been a while since we’ve had a strong leader from a desert land who uses decoys.”
