A thank you site dedicated to Hero worship and praise for left leaning non-comedian Stephen Colbert. I FReeped it and put in a few sarcastic "Thank you's" of my own and thought others might like to do the same. At the very least it is entertaining to see what the linguini spined Liberals consider a Hero. Is it a Soldier who defends all of our freedoms?...NO Could it be a life saving doctor?...OF course not! How about a geek using his fifteen minutes to act liking an idiot and read Democratic talking points?? BINGO!!
BTTT
Why can't they get somebody funny like PJ O'Rourke?
Colbert is an arseclown, just like the other arseclowns that support him.
So, if chuckles and his fellow bozos wish to sign a petition and show their support...Let them. They're just providing the pharmacuetical industry fodder for additional anti-depressent and anti-phsycotic drugs.
Kooks all. Colbert will get his, Jon Stewart will get his, Katie Couric will get hers...all will get their comeupence in time.
Stephen: you're not funny and never have been.
Let's hope they extend Affirmative Action to mundane funnymen so you'll always have a job....
Because liberals aren't capable of being funny when they discuss politics.
Liberals sense of humor is sarcastic hatefilled making fun of those they are threatened by. No wonder---they don't have much going for them in terms of smarts or skill or intelligent thought. No--Let's just make fun of people. hahahahahaha!!
Pathetic. Frankly that is one of the easiest things to do Stephen!!!
Steven Colbert was as critical of the press as he was of the President, and when a comedian is invited to speak before the White House Press Corps, why would one think he would not lampoon both? I am very conservative and watch Colbert on a regular basis, and find him hilarious. People need to get a life before they get so outraged that a guy would have the temerity to criticize the elitist in the media, and a president who, although I support him, seems to have lost his way. It is ok in your view for the President to get up and make fun of himself, but not for Colbert to do the same thing?
Besides, I'll always like Colbert for his convention coverage, where at the end of the Democrat convention he said in a depressed tone, "That's three days of my life I'll never get back."
I get where you're coming from, but I think the WHPC dinner isn't the time or place for the type of "humor" Colbert displayed, it's more good-natured and self-effacing, and not meant to be your chance to nail the President and his policies to the wall. Secondly, you have to be funny, and Colbert wasn't.
I agree with these sentiments because he wasn't supposed to be using this as the bully pulpit.
He went very light on the "Press" and showed an irreverence that only Air America can appreciate.
Let's see him try this tone regularly on his faux show and see how long it lasts.
I thought he was so funny I watched him on c-span again when they replayed it. The fact he got no laughs in that room was the funniest thing of all. If you watched c-span they showed all these horses ass 'journalists' coming into the Hilton and posing for pictures like it was the Oscars or something. The President is not the only one I think who has lost his sense of reality, the press who travels with him is in the same bubble.
Not in the act I saw. He kept repeating that the press is bad for America, but his intent (though unsuccessful IMO) was to skewer conservatives, not the press.
He thinks that's funny because his premise is that the press is good for America, so his pretending to be conservative and repeating that the press is bad for America is supposed to be comical.
The same with his bit about reality having a liberal bias. Again, he was making fun of conservatives who complain about the (very real) liberal bias in the media. His premise is that the media simply reports on reality, and as a pretend conservative he must claim that reality has a liberal bias.
Of course he is liberal, but he does not hide that fact. His humor is biting and edgy, but it is humor. I saw an interview he did with the Democratic Gov or Illinois that was just classic, and I have seen him take apart other liberal dems as well. He is a comedian, and when we start getting so bent out of shape about comedy, we are in trouble as a country. Talk about thin skin. yeesh
Let's see him try this tone regularly on his faux show and see how long it lasts.
I found it the same tone he does use on his show, which is why I watch it only occasionally (depending on the guest). This was his standard - anyone who hired him for this gig should have known what they were getting.
I agree. I find Colbert's show to be very funny, however his performance at the dinner was very disappointing. I was expecting him to make fun of both the press and the President, but nothing he said was funny. The video he did was not funny at all.
I will continue to watch as I do find it very funny.
I agree the video was lame, but when he told the press to get a life and write a book, a fictional book about white house correspondents, I nearly fell off the couch. I think most people tend to get offended when people they like are criticized, but when Pres Bush had that skit a year or two ago about looking under the table for weapons of mass destruction, he made fun of himslef in a smimilar way that Colbert did. After that, the liberal media criticized him for making light of the WMD issue.
Agreed 100%. He was just as you would expect him to be.
I agree with you....Jon Stewart on the other hand is not funny and his show hasn't been funny since the 04" election.
But the Democrats act like Colbert really gave it to the President. I didn't see that at all. I guess that just goes to show that ones political views can effect how one viewed the show.
