Colbert and Krugman
colbertnation.com

Stephen Colbert’s a bit under the weather in this clip from Monday night’s “Colbert Report,” and it’s going to take a lot more than bunny slippers to make things better. Enter economics whiz Paul Krugman with a little advice about America’s unemployment crisis that, shockingly, runs counter to the GOP’s current stance on the subject.  —KA

I don’t dig Colbert’s jokes, in fact he is not funny at all. And what is it with this Krugman guy? It seems these days everybody wants to ask him for an opinion and I see his face all around mainstream media shithouse, it is like with Valerie Plame, once Libby leaked her identity as a C.I.A operative, she became a major expert in everything that concerns C.I.A and covert operations.

I really like Colbert, but I wish he would shut up when he interviews people. He needs to let his guests talk and quit being rude by interrupting them.
