Pelosi laments end of 'Colbert Report' ("The Nation mourns")
The Hill ^ | 12/18/14 | Judy Kurtz

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is lamenting the end of “The Colbert Report,” saying it’s a “loss for ‘truthiness’ advocates across America.”

The Comedy Central series ends its run Thursday night. Host Stephen Colbert is poised to take the reins at CBS’s “The Late Show,” when David Letterman retires next year.

The House minority leader appeared in a sketch earlier this month with Colbert, who plays a faux cable news host on the show. Pelosi stretched her acting muscles as a wheelie-popping bike cop who preached safety to Colbert and Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.).

Did either of them dare poke fun at Muslims?

Or Their Lord And Savior, The Obama, The Messiah, The Won?

Obviously not, since they’re both still alive, unlike that poor guy from SNL...

Colbert funny? Only to bitter, hating Libs. He is going to tank on the Late Show.

You may be right. Letterman was sucking air and he was almost, barely funny. Colbert is as funny as a kidney stone.

I did see they had a smorgasbord of liberal activists on last night to sing him off, Tom Friedman, Paul Krugman, Olbermann, Eliot Spitzer, and Arianna Huffington.

Gomer Huckabee was also there along with Grover Norquistabad. Both have clearly outed themselves as leftists. Any remaining doubt about these two characters vanished with them cozying up to that evil, creepy Colbert.
