What an incredible surprise to see such a funny reference to Jane Austin. Not only is Stephen Colbert from my home state of South Carolina, but also to learn he knows enough of JA to make a great joke! No wonder I’m one of his biggest fans!

I was a bit put off by how he pronounced it “North-Anger” but I guess it is in keeping with his character.

I also second the suggestion that “It is a truthiness universally acknowledged” be turned into a t-shirt. If I had the time I would create it at Cafepress right now. :-) Brilliant.

That must be one of the best lines I’ve heard all year.

I think this is the cleverest bit of fun we’ve had with Jane in a long time!

We’ve got to give him some kind of award!
