Why do people keep saying we need to be able to laugh at ourselves, as if somehow, if we could do so, we would have found Colbert hysterically funny. I don't understand what that comment even means. The jokes weren't about me (or you). They just weren't particularly funny, to me (and obviously I'm not the only one). If you found them funny, good for you, you didn't waste your time listening to it. But, just because someone else didn't, has nothing to do with their lack of ability to laugh at themselves.
Now...maybe you meant something else. In that case...never mind.

We have to laugh at ourselves, and find the humor in all things. People who laugh live longer and have lower blood pressure. They now have in hospitals laugh therapy to help people with conditions. I dont want to be some recluse going thru life just getting mad at people. The guy is a comedian and all jokes have a hint of truth in them. The press corps is a buch of stuff shirts who think that their sh*t doesn't stink. Take david gregory for example. For them not to laugh at colbert is funny enough, after all they were the ones who invited him!
The jokes weren't even about the President. They were about the person the left portrays the President to be.
