Respectful Suspension

The morning after a brief blackout during Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, news media covered the story. 

On September 24, 2008, Stephen Colbert had purposefully suspended his show, casting the set into darkness for a few seconds to display his respect for the financial crisis.

Mr. Colbert, referring to John McCain's surprising announcement, opined during the show's segment: "There is nothing more presidential than suspending your presidential campaign.''
