I don't normally approve of silly pranks which have a lasting effect, but I have to congratulate Colbert (second time in two days!), or more specifically, his viewers, on making 'Steven Colbert híd' the top candidate in a competition to name a new bridge across the Danube. He's managed to rouse so much support that they got over 17M votes for the bridge to be named after him (that's 7M more than the population of Hungary). As a result, the Hungarian government has redone the site, but that doesn't seem to have stopped Colbert's fans who have placed (the nicely palindromic) 86068 votes to get 54% of the second phase...that is, despite having Colbert himself 'call off the dogs'. (Note: most of the other candidates are jokes as well - see here)
Just more evidence that Colbert commands more loyalty than anyone else.
