anyway, i was so inspired by dan snyder's charitable outreach that i formed my own charity. "the ching chong ding dong foundation for sensitivity to orientals or whatever." (laughter) that was wednesday. it reran four times on thursday, was posted on the show's facebook page. not a peep out of the internet. then around 7:00 on thursday, my network's promotional twitter account, @colbertreport, tweeted the name of my foundation without providing a video link to the original segment or mentioning that i was inspired by the redskins charity. who would have thought a means of communication limited to 140 characters would ever create misunderstandings? (laughter) but i have never once used @colbertreport. as you heroes know, i'm @stephenathome. though full disclosure, i sometimes tweet from @stephenathome at work in the bathroom. then, when the twit hit the fan, the brain trust at my network took the tweet down, because that's how this internet works. you can just take stuff down and no one will ever know it happened. just ask mayor wiener. (laughter) now, i'm not trying to throw

. >> so now the pressure is on dan snyder over the name of his team.g equated with what donald sterling has to say. excuse me, that's a jar too far. >> wheel of for tune. >> boozing my shore excursion. >> i would like to solve the puzzle. >> booking my shore excursion. >> i wouldn't have got that. >> speaks for itself. >> you thought it was booting. >> whoa! >> this came out today, judicial watch pointed out that over the past five years, president obama and joe biden -- the biden family have spent over $40 million of your tax dollars on vacations and that's just for air force one and air force two. i can't imagine the golf scraf began zas. >> it is time once again for greg's prom tips. you don't want to look like an idiot when you pin the corsage on your date. practice on your mom. before you go to the prom, don't go to victoria's secret to buy something that's going to freak your parents out. >> do you have an itchy head? >> i'm relaxing, kimberly. you know what, stay out of my life. go ahead, hater of children and old people. >> i want to clarify so

i don't like what dan snyder has done with team on any level whatsoever and he's one of the most irritating years i've watched in sports. year after year after year, let's pay $100 million for somebody who's just going to lie down on the bench for three hours. let's get stephen spurrier -- are you kidding me? i knew stephen spurrier was not going to be a good football coach, what the hell do you have for brains? then daniel snyder said he was going to keep the redskins name and since that's what he wants, i'm dead set against it. [applause] >> should anthony weiner change his name? >> no. i used to do a joke about anthony weiner -- if you didn't have your own joke, you really need to see a doctor. anthony weiner is one of the few people -- somebody shames himself in public and the something awful and then go away for three or four years and they come back and everybody is like what did he do, i'd are member, he looks better now and seems nicer and much more christian than he was before. but you usually leave for that amount of time. he didn't. i believe anthony weiner could leave forever an

president clinton, martha stewart, dan snyder. your mantra is tell it early, tell it all.pplies to every case in the terms of putting somebody in jail and you need criminal advice. in this situation, without disclosing anything i said to a possible client relationship with the malaysian government, there are two general rules that really are almost universal. it is part of that mantra that i wrote as a sub title to my white house book. one, transparency and communication is elemental in the starting point. in this case, the tick tock of what happened and laying out is essential. number two, human grief and human need for communication and for personal communication delivery and empathy. that is ais my number two rule. these are not specific advice. >> i know your firm is not formally retained at the moment. i respect that. are there circumstances where the horse has already left the barn? we're a month into this now. would it even be possible to restore credibility? >> yes, part of that is acknowledging that maybe things weren't done so well in explaining how did it is. th

of the week is to the owner of the washington pro football team that also needs a name change, dan snydere, melissa. look at what the wonderful people of houston did. they decided it was better to catch up with the rest of history rather than to keep grasping onto offensive stereotypes. the elected school board voted to approve the new policy that bars the use of any race or ethnic group as a mascot or nickname. and they had the kids weigh in on what the new team names would be. they did it! now, true, the houston independent school district is not a for-profit professional football team that pulls in something like $381 million in revenue a year, so it might cost you more than just $250,000 to rebrand your team. i actually get that. but eventually, it really will make financial sense in order to make that change. emery university's sports marketing analytics team has found that having a native american mascot in pro football is losing the team $1.6 million a year in revenue, white mascots who are animals or nonnative american people are actually gaining in value every year. here's what h

i don't like what dan snyder has done with the team on any level whatsoever. it is one of the most irritating years i've watched in sports. oh, let's pay a hundred million dollars to somebody who's just going to lie down on the bench for three hours. -- areet steven spurrier you kidding? i know steven spurrier is not going to be a good football coach. what the hell do you have for brains? said that hesnyder was going to keep the redskin name. since that's what he wants, i'm dead set against it. [laughter] [applause] >> should anthony weiner change his name? [laughter] >> no. i is to do a joke about anthony weiner. if you don't have your own joke, then you need to see a doctor. no, anthony weiner is one of the .ew people if summary shames himself in public and the something awful and goes away for three or four years and everybody kind of says well, what did he do. he looks a lot better now. he seems nicer and much more christian than he was before. you usually leave for that amount of time. he didn't care it i believe that anthony weiner could leave forever an

. >> reporter: last month, washington redskins owner, dan snyder under pressure to change the team'sns. image consultants point to nfl quarterback, michael vick who spent two years in jail for running a dog fighting ring. >> you know who i am. >> reporter: after being released, partnered with the humane society. >> if you see animal cruelty in your neighborhood, speak up. >> reporter: for sterling, a pay off. numerous honors, including a lifetime achievement award from the los angeles naacp in 2009. he promoted his giving, often taking out full page ads in local newspapers. her organization will never again take his money. >> i would like to see him not be a public figure we have to deal with. i think he's cooked his own goose and i want him to stew in it. >> the consultant we talked with said that view is going to be shared by a lot of organizations. this time, he's not going to be able to donate his way out of controversy. nora? >> thank you. >> i like her line, he doesn't like black people. it makes you wonder, why is he involved in an nba sport. look at polo. look at the horses a

s football owner dan snyder's attempts to pacify critics of the team's logo.w twitter account then tweeted just the punch line from that segment, and by itself, without context, the tweet was clearly anti-asian, the outcry was immediate. #cancelcolbert become a trending topic for more than 24 hours. on monday, colbert addressed the controversy in a way that only stephen colbert could. >> who would have thought a means of communication limited to 140 characters would ever create misunderstanding. the cancel colbert people think that even in context, i am a racist. i just want to say that i am not a racist. i don't even see race. not even my own. people tell me i'm white and i believe them because i just devoted six minutes to explaining how i'm not a racist. >> why colbert received the bulk of the attention, the movement that was lost in the mix were the native americans who have organized against snyder's team mascot. and that is a problem, according to jeff yang, who wrote in the "wall street journal," in short, we have arrived at the era of the weaponized ha

going to show it to you, directly from the @colbert report website making fun of a situation with dan snyder the redskins owner. colbert was doing satire and wasn't read that way from a lot of people. s stephen addressing i agree with cancel colbert. i share your rage. who is that? i'm stephen@home. a lot of people were outraged by the tweet and colbert addressing it last night on his show and using the entire show to address it. >> who would have thought a means of communication limited to 140 characters would ever create misunderstandings. but, folks, i have never once used@colbertreport. as you heroes know, i' i'm @stephen@home although full disclosure sometimes tweet from@stephen@home in bathroom. >> they brought on one of the founders of twitter and used this new magical button to blow up the@colbert twitter account. they called it a kill switch. we checked, it is no longer there. @colbert report. @stephen@home, his personal account. his supporters say it was a joke pulled from the show sat tier rising something else and certainly wasn't meant to be insensitive to the asian community as
