The Daily Show1996
Jon Stewart:
Stephen, Senator Frist's appearance at that megachurch could be seen as a serious breach of the separation of church of state.
Stephen Colbert:
Jon, let me explain this in a metaphor. If you take a gallon of Neopolitan ice-cream, like the one I'm holding, you need to drag a spoon all the way across it to get the full three flavors.
[Colbert puts the gallon of ice cream down and picks up another one]
Stephen Colbert:
However, if you have a gallon of fudge sundae ice cream, you can dip your spoon in and enjoy all parts of the sundae at once.
Jon Stewart:
So you're implying that mixing church and state is a good thing?
Stephen Colbert:
Jon, I'm saying that this megachurch is a Baskin-Robbins.
