Colbert's humor is like putting flaming bags of dog poop on the doorstep and ringing the bell. Such is the depth of liberal elites. Take DUers for example. They spend half their days thinking up cutesy nicknames for the Bush family and admin. It's like a particularly bad 3rd grade class.
"Another Bush hater" .. Apparently so.
I guess he expected the the press to expound on the rude, and yes "brazen..." antics of Colbert.
To me .. the guy was boring. It wasn't a comic routine .. and in truth .. the President was much, much funnier. His alter ego WAS SAYING ALL THE THINGS THAT THE PRESIDENT WANTED TO SAY .. but he's constrained by his position.
I especially loved, "screw 'em"! That was one of the very best lines.
He nailed the "feel-good" rhetoric that's been coming out of the White House, and is even someitmes repeated in the press. He thrashed the empty verbiage like Thank You for Smoking thrashed the anti-tobacco crusade. He had a few stinkers, but his points struck home. The media aren't reporting it because he made them look bad, and he made them know it.
OK, this is something like the third time lately that I've heard this dailykos.com website referred to as some kind of humongous, "must-see" website. Does it even have half the members - let alone the traffic - of Free Republic? Anyone know?
Star comedian? I've never heard of him.
I hope our President has the intestinal fortitude to be the first to inform the media "thanks, but no thanks" to the next invitation to dine with the jackals.
Declining the invite would especially send a lesson to the yutes of America that the office of president is to be treated with respect, even if some do not respect the person.
What purpose is served by what started out to be funny "roasts" of attending presidents and has evolved into blood-sucking rhetoric in front of a crowd of Draculas?
C'mon, President Bush. If anyone can break this degrading chain of unedible dinners, you can. Next year, tell the drooling DC media hyenas that you and Laura have a previous dinner engagement at Denny's next year.....or be out of the country dining with real humans, our brave troops.
