‘Colbert Report’: Who’s the Jesus-est?Posted on Aug 22, 2009
Boy, Stephen Colbert got a lot accomplished on “The Colbert Report” this past week! He established whose God was best (duh) and why writing an Op-Ed in The New York Times is a clear sign of desperation and defeat (double duh), and he even managed to outdo Rep. Barney Frank in the table-talk department. But with what kind of cracker does Obamargarine go best? Hmmm. —KA Comedy Central:

Some have a richer sense of humor than others. and some can recognizes it better than others. So much for equality among humans. Colbert’s mockery of society, through parody, especially and surreptitiously criticizing the Rightists, even though, cleverly, it often looks as if he is among them. But an attentive ear would show that while not a liberal, he sticks hot pokers in the absurdities that is the Republican propaganda strategies. But he definitely does not pull punches against Dummocrats either.

Spot on stuff and, oh brother, Susan. This “peice” (as you so assuredly mis-spelled it) does not have “canned laughter” - it’s taped in front of a live audience. Hence, you’re an idiot.

I don’t listen to Colbert, Fox, CNN or the other junk-news, and MSNBC only to find out what disinformation is being piddled out, then I go to the source to find out what is really going on.
Report thisDon’t feed them the ratings.

Those are the ‘Roman-est’

Colbert isn’t as funny as he thinks he is (hence the canned laughter), his development obviously was arrested when he was a young (probably not very popular) adolescent, and he isn’t very intelligent. This whole peice reeks. He is not a journalist OR a comedian, but one of those (so many these days) paid disinformation specialists - basically, up - end the week’s news, bash anyone trying to make sense of it and keep the big mouth running - his type will do anything for money.

Colbert’s unparalleled hyperbole shows the idiocy as he says, of hopping on a
Report thisPogo stick in church, uh, “to get closer to Jesus on the high points of the
hops,” and what benefit it does for humanity. He probably meant from the triple
hops brewing process high points you get from drinking the usual two six-packs
of Miller Lite. It could become the next sacred beverage.
