The Daily Show is better for making fun of the news itself, but the great thing about Colbert is the character, which he manages to stay in no matter what people throw at him. He does a great parody of ultraconservative commentators like O'Reilly. Anyone else notice that he talks about bears being the greatest threat to our nation, and yet he refers to O'Reilly affectionately as "Papa Bear?"
My congressman (Lee Terry, Nebraska's First District), while I'm not a fan of his, had a pretty good interview on there; I think by the way he fell so easily into the meatpacking jokes that he did understand where Colbert was going. I especially enjoyed the comment about how Omaha had a large telemarketing business because the people have no accents, "so it sounds like their from nowhere, which is pretty accurate."
Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse?
