Don Cherry On The Offensive With Stephen Colbert by Ryan Porter msn.ca 21/03/2007 8:54:00
Don Cherry was in a fighting mood as the guest speaker on Stephen Colbert Day in Oshawa, Ontario, on Tuesday, March 20.
"I didn't know if he was left wing, but somebody told me this afternoon he's a left-wing pinko, and you'd expect a left-wing pinko not to show up and face the music after starting something," the Quiznos fan said of The Colbert Report host.
As if that wasn't insulting enough, Don spit out, "He wears a visor too, I think." We don't know what that means, but it sounds pretty humiliating.
Stephen was given his own day after the OHL team, the Oshawa Generals, lost a bet to the Saginaw Spirit, whose mascot, Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle, had caught Stephen's attention.
If they'd won, Stephen would have worn an Oshawa Generals jersey on-air. But that didn't happen, so instead the mayor's birthday was declared Stephen Colbert Day.
Three thousand people attended the party at the General Motors Centre. In a taped message, Stephen continued to taunt the city. "Bold, innovative, vibrant: none of these words have been applied to the city of Oshawa," he said. "But how about these words: beaver pelt."
Ouch! You know Don Cherry is going to be lurking on a dark side street with a broken bottle of Molson Canadian with Stephen's name on it after that.
