Stephen Colbert: Bravery or Idiocy

[simple]

A heartwarming story of a man who is punched in the face. Colbert is teh funnah.

Repeatedly

 

[Coqui]

Overall I didn't really find it funny, but it had some moments.

I enjoy Colbert. He's finally getting comfy with the Report and it shows.

Truthiness....lol

Jump down turn around pick a bail o' truth

 

[Sp`ange]

yeah, I saw it live and I had to do a double-take. I was floored.

How was this insolence allowed to transpire?

 

[Krazed]

I think it makes any president look good if they at least LOOK like they're able to laugh at themselves

Because it's Colbert and everyone knows he's a prick.

Would have been better if it was Richard Branson or someone.

Maybe to people who don't understand body politic. His job is to be a figurehead and leader, not a jester.

Right, but that's what he's made himself into. At least in my eyes.

I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world.


I love that man. Would anyone else say this to the prez face with all the media in the world watching?

OMFG I laughed so hard when I saw that last night. ANd the Chocolate City thing, "white center" was hysterical.

I found it to be almost uncomfortable because many of the audience didn't know whether to laugh or leave the room. I found it funny, don't get me wrong, but I also found it to be a bit disrespectful. Does anyone else agree?

I don't see it as disrespectful, as it shows what a great nation we can be a part of. I did feel a little uncomfortable for Colbert tho, even though he wasn't.

Good point.

Actually, I think mockary is somewhat disrespectful. Not many other nations would allow someone to make a mockary of their leader like Colbert did. And because of that it shows what a great nation we can be a part of. Tho some would probably say just the opposite, that our leader (/country) is weak because he allows people to be disrespectful towards him....
