The Colbert Report

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Just wanted to get you guys' feelings on this show....

For those who haven't seen it, it's a political news comedy show in which Steven Colbert portrays a Republican, but does it in a mocking way....

I think it's popularity has really gone up recently...

I have to say, I really enjoy it, obviously with my Democratic views, that's not too surprising....

But just wondering what you righties think of it....

He's fucking hysterical, and is much smarter than the pundits he satires, at the same time.

Stephen Colbert is an interesting guy. He had no interest in political satire until he went on the Daily Show, and became obsessed with media and news. He also hosted a bit on religion, largely because he's also had his fair share of tragedy, I heard and extended interview once, and I guess his father and brother were both killed in a plane crash, which he said caused him to withdraw, but also made him a voracious reader.

His show also took heat because he got a congressman, running unopposed, to answer questions in jest like why he enjoyed doing cocaine. It was pretty funny, Colbert replayed the bit, then counterattacked his detractors (like Today and Goodmorning America), who claimed he makes politicians look like idiots, by replaying his mock-interview, then showing their critical "hard-news" story on his piece, then he played their retarded "human-(dis)interest" stories on cucumber salads and celebrity worship stuff.

I find him to be full of "truthiness."

Apparently the Wikipedia folks weren't too amused with his segment the other night. He actually DID log on to Wikipedia and change the entry to say "George Washington never owned slaves"

[DLR'sCock]

The show owns.

I hate the fact that The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are on in primetime, I wish they'd move it back to 7:00PM.

Tbh it is my favorite show currently.

[Guitar Shark]

My favorite part is when he asks his guests the following question.

"George Bush...

Great President,
or
Greatest President?"

I hate the show.

A staunch, intelligent liberal pretending to be a crass, poorly informed conservative...what kind of idiot would invent a character as STUPID as that???

Did we mention that the show airs on <b>Comedy</b> Central?

[EAT MY ASSHOLE]

And no, this isn't because he didn't choose me to be his black friend...

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

It's called satire.

That's a really good point... he'd have to be a real asshole. A punk, even.
