It’s pricks like Colbert who has contributed significantly to the dumbing down of America and helped create the low-information voter. These young people lap up everything he and Jon Stewart says, and then when they’re called on it, they get to hide behind the clown nose.
Dumbing down ? He started a PAC! Sure, he was playing it light, but he actually did it.
Charleston, SC born and raised Colbert likes to brag about going to speech classes to get rid of his “southern accent”. What little southern accent Charleston natives even have was too much for him. He said he didn’t like people to think he was stupid for being a southerner. A real jerk in every sense of the word.
