uh-huh... yeah... whatever... he's so UNFUNNY that i couldn't resist using part of his schtick as part of my weekly podcast... way back when, court jesters used to be the only ones who could tell the truth in front of kings and princes without having their heads summarily removed... colbert is only following in a rich tradition of speaking truth to power and cloaking it in humor and barbed satire... too bad the sons-of-bitches have forgotten how to laugh at themselves...

er - i was kidding-ly making fun of a RW talking point - anyone who can do *that* with his ear AND throw a president out on his ear gets kudos in my book

It makes one wonder if the press isn't as delusional as W. Could they possibly think they aren't complicit in the criminality of the Bush administration? It's not a good sign when the most sane person in the room is a comedian.

I think this was beyond court jester. This was like a priest performing an exorcism or a deprogrammer talking to a cult.

i think the correspondents' response (silence) indicates that they are finally realising it.

the only question is whether they change their evil ways.
