Stephen Colbert Attempts to 'Tongue the Crack of Liberty'

The following video contains two of my favorite things: Stephen Colbert and the city of Philadelphia. In it, Colbert attempts to "tongue the crack of liberty" and disobeys orders inside of Independence Hall. He also does his best to reach the summit of the Art Museum steps. Notice a brief cameo by everyone's favorite furry green guy from Galapagos.
Also, The Roots like to break stuff.
And here he mocks us. Which I'm cool with.


I want that jersey! Or is it a swersey? or a jerweater?

During his show things are always happening so quickly. I'm surprised he hasn't said anything about cheesesteaks ppheeww. We should take him around the other parts of town!
P.S. that jersey make look tacky but it's great!

Disclaimer: No authentic philly jerseys were harmed in the crafting of the ultra-jersey.

The bassist did a half-assed job of trying to smash his bass.

He "fingered the crack of freedom". Not tongue.
