If Colbert says it, it's true

I stand corrected. Stephen C tonight on the World Baseball Classic:

"Yeah! We won! Whoooooooooooo [waves American flag]. So maybe we didn't technically win, since we were knocked out by Mexico in the semi-finals. But... we did beat Japan in World War II, so WE are the champions! [whoops while draping himself in American flag].

By similar logic (eg "Most of the countries in Europe wouldn't exist if it wasn't for us, so they're basically ours"), he deduces that only three of the 32 teams playing in this summer's World Cup are not actually already America. Fiendishly clever chap.
