152. No one ever said Colbert was a real journalist.
Edited on Sun Nov-11-07 05:03 PM by Tinman
But if a half-hour comedy show is what it takes to air the issues that Bob Schieffer and Andrea Mitchell aren't allowed to discuss, then that's what it takes. The last time I checked, Stephen Colbert was just as American as the "professionals" and he has the same right, and I applaud his efforts. Also, we've taken the majority in both houses of Congress since Colbert's show went on the air. There may not be a correlation, but it does render your contention that Democrats can't win elections moot.
