Court Jester

Steven Colbert testified before congress yesterday, doing what a Seven does best: delivering important information in a manner that is entertaining but has a bite.
Colbert stands in the tradition of a great 7ish archetype: the court jester. It was the job of the jester to entertain the king but also to tell the king some things he probably did not want to hear.

The jester was often called a fool. Be that as it may, Colbert is foolish and he is no fool.
