Wired reviews Colbert's Christmas special

[pokerfan]

Hyper-real talking head Stephen Colbert fights back Sunday against the power-mad hordes who have declared war on Christmas. His secret weapon: a deliriously strange holiday special.

How strange? Toby Keith sings about Santa dropping nukes from his sleigh on heretics who don't believe in Jesus or Santa, who the country crooner explains are actually the same person.

Colbert and Keith are joined by The Daily Show's old-school faux newsman, Jon Stewart, and musical heavyweights like Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson, John Legend and Feist.

With their help, Colbert dissects the religious roast beast that is Christmas using satire, drugs, violence and hilarious duets as a scalpel.
