Stephen Colbert humor reminds me of Abbie Hoffman.
Abbie was the consummate back-bencher. He could hurl a zinger like no other at the political establishment.
Where Abbie had to do this from the street Colbert has found a way to do it within twenty paces of Bush.
To his face.
On television.
On the internets in infinite reruns.
I haven't felt this good about a fellow human being in a long, long time.

1. Alot of libs dont like Colbert...

They think he really means the things he says rather then understanding he's making the RWers know exactly how stupid they all look.

On edit: I however think he is the perfect follow up to The Daily Show.

3. You know I think you are right
They do favor one another with there zingers.
But of course Corbett dresses more like a rethug so he is more disarming to them.
