Colbert's "Know Your District" bit is hilarious. Hell, Colbert got Gov. Rod Blagojevich on and made him look like an ass. These are comedians people. Jackass meets CNN. Just laugh at it and move on.
Oh...absolutely they're funny. I laugh my butt off when I watch them. But all good comedy is funny because it has its underpinning in truth.
I'm not saying I get my news from them...I get my news from lots of places. I just think most media has abdicated its responsibility to do more than bring infotainment to our screens. But these guys raise issues and are pointed in their barbs (aimed at both sides, I might add).
Oh...and John McCain is one of my favorite guests on Stewart's show. I loved when the torture debate was going on and Stewart just looked at McCain and said (of Cheney) "is this guy nuts?" McCain's response, an impish grin and shrug, was priceless. :cof:
