Colbert Goes Stewart on Glenn Beck
It’s really disheartening that, between all of the cable news outlets, we can be subjected to 20 hours of politically oriented news programming every evening, yet it takes two 30 minute humor shows (44 minutes total, if the commercials aren’t considered) to really get to the nub of the right wing wankery.

1. K & R
Thanks for the link. I only see Colbert occasionally and I missed this one. Hilarious.

You couldn't pay me to watch Beck. He is truly repulsive.

2. You are welcome
The guy who wrote it is a friend of mine. I never watch Colbert either, I'm a bit afraid to say. Almost watch zero TV. Lately only about once a day while feeding my young son.

Einstein and Mozart and Picasso. An artiste and a genius to boot!

5. Steward and Cobert and their shows could easily be an hour each!
Actually, they are not only brilliant, but the "reporters" that they use as parodies are amazing. I thought the piece on Glenn Beck was one of the best Colbert has done. They have thrown down the gauntlet.

6. They'd need to hire so many writers.
Those shows probably employ a whole stable already to crank out so many shows and all such good stuff.

7. I think Colbert needs a Pulitzer! Yeah I know he is not a Newspaper Reporter But I get more out of
him than I do from the real news!
