The joke will be on Colbert when he takes over for Letterman. The reason he has any popularity at all is because he makes fun of repubs on the leftist network Comedy Central. When he gets into an environment that does not kowtow to the left, he will bomb like an Obama in Syria...
Colbert is still seething over the ass kicking Steve King gave him on immigration in 2010.
“Maybe we should be spending less time watching Comedy Central and more time considering all the real jobs that are out there, ones that require real hard labor and don’t involve sitting behind a desk. If we did, we’d realize that every day, American workers perform the dirtiest, most difficult, most dangerous jobs that can be thrown at them. From crab fishermen who venture out into some of the roughest and most dangerous waters in the world, to the Joe the Plumbers of the world who many days would prefer the aroma of fresh dirt to that of the sewage from American elitists who disparage them even as they flush. These are real Americans doing real jobs, task that simply must get done.”
Meanwhile this same week, Obama apparently let Ebola into the country.
Which headline is more important?
I didn’t know Colbert still had a show or that Salon was still on the Internet.
Well, I see the left’s deep disdain for women, hispanics and South Asians is still in full swing. These guys don’t seem to like anybody. If only Clarence Thomas had been speaking... Oh, wait!
Snark monkey shoots barrel full of straw men. Progressive sheep applaud.
Steven who?
As far as I’m concerned colbert is a no talent hack who stole his whole shtik from a dead comedian.
Not epic, snarky and condescending..
Does anyone actually watch that idiot..once I was changing channels and couldn’t stand hearing him for 5 seconds, would rather have a tooth pulled without Novocaine
A man dies and arrives in heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall full of clocks as far as the eye could see.
He asked, "What's with all the clocks?"
St Peter answered, "Those are the lie clocks. Everybody who arrives here has one assigned. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock moves.
The man looked around and asked, "Whose clock is that?"
"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."
"Incredible," said the man "And whose clock is that one?"
"That's Abraham Lincoln's," replied St Peter, "The hands only moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his whole life."
"Where's Barack Hussein Obamas?"
Oh, Barack's clock is in Sarah Palin's rec room. She's using it as a ceiling fan"
and didn’t his sorry dem sister lose her election in South Carolina? Jerk.
Colbert: smelly cheese en Francais!
I have read many times that Colbert affects a Right Wing persona on his show. Where does that opinion come from?
