Last night on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert opened the show with a tribute to Boston. Watch what he has to say in this pride-inducing, funny, incredibly apt clip. To whet your appetite, we'll share this highlight in particular:
"Whoever did this obviously did not know about the people of Boston. Because nothing these terrorists do is gonna shake them. ... A city that withstood an 86-year-losing streak. A city that made it through the Big Dig - a construction project that backed up traffic for 16 years. I mean, there are commuters just getting home now."
