Radio host to sue Colbert over 'stolen joke'

THE HOST of Air America's morning show "The Young Turks" Cenk Uygur is suing Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report," claiming that Colbert ripped off a "Klingon joke" that he told on Sept. 7 in his radio program. And he's poste d a video on YouTube to prove it. Here's an excerpt from the Associated Press report:

In both jokes, Uygur and Colbert suggest that the Republican presid ential candidates sounded like Klingons from "Star Trek" while speaking about t he value of honor. Renata Luczak, a spokeswoman for Colbert, said the comedian had no immediate co mment but will most likely address it on the show. As a mock conservative pundit, Colbert has often engaged in mock feuds. An e-mail sent to Uygur's spokesman seeking further comment was not immediately returned.
