"Frenemies" - I love Colbert!
I'm finally watching Monday night's show.

Friend + Enemy = Frenemy

He's using it in reference to China.

1. I know you don't want to know this.....
But that term was coined/first used on Sex and the City.

2. Oh, that's alright. The truth is always more important than my feelings.
Thanks for the heads up!

4. But you're legendary for having such fragile, delicate feelings....
....like a pure, tiny flower.

7. Well, that is true...
I am awfully sensitive that way, fragile, and ready, at any moment, to burst into tears if my humanity has somehow been impinged...

3. That's not a Colbert creation.

I heard it long before I heard of Colbert. It's also a song by The Arsonists, from back in like 1999.
