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!!

I know, what has happened to "The Daily Show"? It used to be pretty funny and would make fun of both sides and the press. But now it seems wholly focued on Pres. Bush, which is fine for 2 or 3 minutes but then you have got to make fun of other people. It has gotten really lame.

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.Good point. I think he is a funny man, but I can't enjoy him. I can't get past what his comedy is actually saying. That's on me, not on Colbert.

They could have gotten Bill Maher. Now that would be nasty.

I stopped watching it when Kilborn left to do his own late night show. I always thought that he was much more funny.
That being said, I watch the Colbert Report from time to time, and it always makes me laugh.

I do love when he interviews Congress. It is so funny these guys agree to be interviewed and they seem to have no clue as to his style and even that he is a comedian. They usually seem to assume he is a so called 'journalist' and then get thrown off by his questions.

"Better Know A District" is hilarious.
Congressman let me ask you, Iraq... "great" war, or "the greatest" war?
Seeing the Dem congresscritters squirm at that question is ROF funny.

I found the Daily show after 9-11 when, I really needed some cheering up. Stewert and Colbert were lifesavers for us. My rule is to NEVER take a comedian seriously.

He can be funny when he makes fun of Democrats.
To: JerseyDvl
I thought that Colbert (unintentionally) did us all a big favor. I don't think that the President really knows the depth of the hatred many (if not most) Democrats and other Leftists feel toward him. IMHO, Mr. Bush tends to think that every attack against him is "political", meaning that those attacks are not really personal, nor are they truly intended to hurt or insult his reputation or character. It's unlikely that the President believes that the same Democrat Senator or Congressman who shook his hand only the day before actually believes that he (President Bush) is a greater threat to America than Kim Jong Il and UBL put together, or that the same reporter he was kidding around with just this morning privately believes that he is blithering idiot of the first order. Maybe something like Colbert's performance can help remove the rosy coloring from the Presidential glasses.
To: milwguy
You miss the point. He bombed. The reason he bombed is because his bit was not funny. Even the sympathetic audience he had reacted as though they didn't find the humor in it.
That's because there was no humor in it. It was tedious.
As for his supposed talent in other venues, I wouldn't know. I'd never heard of the guy until the other night.
And BTW, don't you think that in order to be funny, comedy should have a bit of truth to it? Do you think that a comedian making jokes which are based on the idea of, say, there being 500 days to a year could be funny, if the premise of the jokes were to poke fun at those of us who believe that there are only 365?

> It's like all those people who were mad at the "That's My Bush" sitcom by the South Park creators, thinking it was a plot against Bush, when we know the series was in creation before the election and would lampoon whoever became President.
Yeah! Did you see that HILARIOUS South Park going after algore? It would have almost been worth it (well, not really I guess) to have a Gore presidency so these guys would rip him a new one on a regular basis!
/Why won't anyone take me serial? :-)

I listened to part of his schtick on the web. I got to his part about 32% approval being like the glass half full. And that he wouldn't drink it because the "last 32% is just backwash anyway." In other words, the last third that still supports Bush has to be a bunch of D&*(S*&&s.
No thanks.
Actually, he flubbed the jokes and got tongue tied. I wish Bush had walked over to the mike and said, "It's ok Stephen, the press won't mind if you flub a few words here or there."

Stephen Colbert is consistantly hilarious while also having a substantive point usually. Same is true of Jon Stewart, Dennis Miller, Garrison Keillor, P.J.O'Rourke, Chris Rock, and The Onion. One doesn't have to agree with their opinions to appreciate the calibre of their material.
Would someone here please recommend a few good Conservative comedians/humorists? Miller, O'Rourke, Keillor,and Rock often have some conservative content. And who was that fellow who hosted Tough Crowd on Comedy Central? He is sharp.

I wish I could recommend a conservative humorist but I really can't think of any. I love how Colbert pretends to be one, he is really funny.
I like most humor that deals with politics as I can laugh at either side.
If you hear of one, ping me. Thanks.

Oh come on he was funny:
This alone:
"Joe Wilson is here, the most famous husband since Desi Arnez. And of course he brought along his lovely wife Valerie Plame. Oh, my god! Oh, what have I said. I am sorry, Mr. President, I meant to say he brought along his lovely wife, Joe Wilsons wife."
Is worth it.
