Hilarious.

Its always funny when a liberal does it. It's usually bigotry, hate, and intollerance when a conservative does it. I did not vote for Bush but this was hardly funny. My 6 year old son is more entertaining than this. Sorry, but I find Colbert to be like that annoying outside sales rep who brings doughnut to my shop and tries to sell me on his product.

What I wouldn't have given to be invited to the same event during the Carter administration.

I thought you two were Libertarians?

That's what they'd have you believe. They're actually left wing pinko homo libs.

[sline-dawg]

Living in that glass house, Len ??

[braces4impact]

So because I'm a Libertarian I can't laugh at a guy who slams a republican president? I can only laugh at the peoples jokes who conform 100% to my own personal philosophy on politics?

The nice thing about being a Libertarian is that I can criticize both repubs and dems.

Libertarians are people too ashamed to say they are Democrats. They say they will criticize democrats, but they don't have that much time and wouldn't if they did. .

[Edited by daytonafan on 05-04-2006 at 09:52 PM] Funny is funny. Liberal or Conservative.


Hell, james is to the right of the John Birch Society but I think he has great sense of humor and I constantly find myself roaring at what he has written even when some of that is directed at me.


Of course it is funnier when it's not your ox that is being gored.


I look at Colbert as a less serious Lenny Bruce. He has all the bite and wit of Lenny but in a more humorous framework.

Hell, I thought Shrub's act was hilarious. I'll give him credit for poking fun at himself. Maybe he and the impersonator should look for more gigs. Could be something for Bush to do after he leaves office.


Colbert was a gas.

[RoBoTeq]

Colbert is ok. I like him better with Jon Stewart where there is not quite so much of him at one time though.

[dna]

My thoughts exactly robo.

[refrigeration mafia]

Republicans have no sense of humor. Humor which does not support the party line will be outlawed.

Yeah. I noticed that. They took Colbert off in cuffs. He's in some prison in Eastern Europe now.

[RoBoTeq]

Saying that Republicans don't have a sense of humor is just innacurate. I watch political pundents all of the time and mostly they go after Republicans just because of the nature of show business attracting mostly liberal minded persons.

Most times what the pundents are making fun of is accurate to make fun of, and I laugh at the errors of those I vote for and respect.

The major problem comes when a conservative minded person has the audacity to quip a liberal. Oh my gosh! Civil rights....political correctness....my eensy weensy wittle feelings have been hurt and I'm so offended. Damned little commie pusses can't take a joke if its at their own expense.

[skrewt]

It's just a good thing he wasn't bashing clinton:


Clinton Rejects Freedom of Speech!

In the summer of 1996 Glenn and Patricia Mendoza attended A Taste of Chicago, in Chicago, Illinois. An event which President Clinton was also attending. Mrs. Mendoza allegedly yelled, "You suck! And those boys died." Referring to the earlier incident in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, in which an explosion was set off, probably by a terrorist, killing 19 servicemen. Mrs. Mendoza believed Mr. Clinton was somehow at fault for the explosion, explaining her comments. Some feel that Bill Clinton caused or contributed to the cause of these murders, though I'm not sure how.

At any rate, 15 minutes after Clinton departed the event, Mrs. Mendoza was arrested for her comments. "You might need a lawyer!" her husband Glenn shouted, then found himself in cuffs as well.

Now, if you feel that perhaps Mrs. Mendoza shouldn't have used the term, "You suck!" then try this one on for size. In 1993, William Kelly of Chicago was arrested for shouting to Clinton asking where was the middle class tax cut. Such intolerable uses of FREE speech got these people thrown in jail! What happened to the laws? What happened to the First Amendment regarding FREE SPEECH!?

It seems to me that Mr. Clinton is selective on who he has arrested and who he doesn't because when an AIDS activist yelled about his not doing enough for the disease, Clinton defended the heckler citing his duty to listen to criticism. Hummm, that's a new one for you huh? Situations such as this tend to make me wonder what other categories Mr. Clinton is selective on.

[chillbilly]

I thought it was funny as hell and I commend Bush for playing along even when his scowl revealed that he didn't like some of Colbert's content.
The dual Bush's stole the show. LOL!

Political humor is effortless. Those bozos in D.C. are too easy to slam. I'm tired of all the Hillary jokes. For my money, it doesn't get any better than Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber.

As true as this is, Colbert was having trouble getting laughs from better then half of what he was saying. And then to screw up the set up of the half empty glass routine...hell, he should be getting roasted for that one.

I do like the fact that he constantly referred to the fact that he does not speak in facts. To me, that's what makes him funny. Liberals don't get that part of Colbert's routine.

The whole does not speak to the facts is a slam on conservative pundits.

Colbert is playing a clueless fact challenged conservative pundit for Zeus' sake.

[jrn wireman]

Not getting laughs from half of what he said, hell why would they laugh they just got their asses nailed to the barn door. Helen Thomas may be the only Washington reporter not guilty of complicity.

Colbert not only hammered the President for lying us into a illegal war but completly slammed the press for not being the reporters they are suppose to be. It's taken 5 years for the press to take off the kid gloves and start asking the important questions.

[James 3528]

Who's press are you talking about? The press in this country is a arm of the DNC. Duh.


Illegal war. Jesus, that is a new one. You been listening to Tokyo Rose?

[jrn wireman]

James, did your old buddy Rush tell you that. Your hero and the source for most of your right wing crap is high on drugs. You should really get out of that right wing rut your in. Go to crooks and liars or Thom Hartmann or Znet and read the truth if you can handle it. I'm guessing, that if the information doesn't all ready tilt your way you can't read it all the way through.

[bootlen]

Rush who?

The war is just AND legal. Get over it. Your man lost and the winner did the right thing in the Middle East.

[jrn wireman]

Oh sure ,the right thing to do is distroy the oil production of Iraq and eliminate 80% of their output.
There were no weapons of mass distruction, they knew what would happen to oil prices and profit is the reason we are in Iraq.
It's damn funny how all the world knew Saddam was selling illegal oil on the side, but nobody said anything about it. I suppose cheap oil is something the Bush people just can't put up with.
If you think that the U.S. should go to war over the worlds remaining oil fields then you should know this, Exxon , BP , and the rest of the crooks, they don't give a rats ass were that oil goes, here, China, or India. They just want the profit.
Wars, like this, should be more than illegal , they should be UNAMERICAN.

d-e-s-t-r-o-y and d-e-s-t-r-u-c-t-i-o-n. And, yes there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. They are sitting in Syria now. All it takes is a little courage and conviction to realize this. It's O.K. to be a liberal. Please, just quit puking up media distortions and fabricated half truths and expecting those of us who try and think on our own to accept them.

Wrong, nowhere near 80%

Whose profit?? How many billions of dollars have we spent helping the Iraqi's?? Where is this profit you are referring to? Iraqi oil exports to USA....0%




It's damn funny how all the world knew Saddam was selling illegal oil on the side, but nobody said anything about it. I suppose cheap oil is something the Bush people just can't put up with.

What a bozo. How about some facts there sonny.

Let me clue you in here....we are not in Iraq because of oil. Period. You need some serious antibiotics to cure your spin fever.

[James 3528]

Who is Steven Colbert? Is he like some intellectual that the liberals look up to a worship?

[chillbilly]

Kind of a nerdy looking, bespectacled comedian.
He's about half funny, half the time.

[jrn wireman]

Steven Colbert is the one that handed Bush his ass the other night along with that liberal press you say we have.

[chillbilly]

Yeah, um humm. If you're too stupid to recognize a liberal when you see one, look in the mirror.

[James 3528]

How does this effect anything? Is this all the liberals have left as heroes? Comedians?

Yes...every one knows the media isn't liberal..except them. They have admitted it.Everyone knows Russert, Matthews,CNN, ABC Dan Rather and The New York Times are really out to help the President. It really isn't true that the press is liberal.

[Edited by James 3528 on 05-11-2006 at 06:54 PM]

[RoBoTeq]

It doesn't affect anything at all. Moderate and even conservative persons see comic entertainers such as Colbert as humorous whereas the truly brainless liberals think comedians are truth of the crystals they worship.

[chillbilly]

Yeah, it's funny. Colbert doesn't even take himself seriously, but sure enough he's a God in the eyes of the illiterate morons who hunger for mythology.

This from someone who didn't even know Colbert was playing the role of a typical, clueless rightwing pundit.

Man, the irony meters are getting a workout tonight.
