“Because if getting a South Carolina trivia fact wrong
disqualifies you for office, then Nikki Haley would
have stepped down after saying this. [Video Clip Begins] COLBERT: What’s the state am

Ooh. COLBERT: Oh, how’s it feel when the spiked shoe is on the other foot? It’s the spotted salamander.[Video Clip Ends]. Oh, do you know the state dish governor? It’s revenge. Best served cold with a side of
salamander milk. So nation, do
