Colbert, Simply the best

How often do you clap while watching the television? Yeah, me neither, usually.

Tonights Colbert Report hit it out of the park! The interview with Ret. Supreme Court Justice Stevens was funny as hell! Stevens has a great wit.

We got to see the latest campaign SuperPac ad with Samuel L. Jackson and a little education on the Washington crossing the Delaware Painting, extremely large scale.

But the applause came from the closing duet with James Taylor singing 'Carolina on my Mind'.

Screw the lies and politicians. To hell with the phony debates and the phony, (go figure), candidates!

This was simply wonderful!

C'Mon South Carolina! Vote C Herman Cain!

Hopefully the message will get through to people -- ARE YOU GOING TO BASE YOUR VOTE OFF OF THIS KIND OF NONSENSE? His ads are funnier, but no more absurd, than the real ones.

boodles of money and do whatever one wants to with it. The ease of transferring it, the fine lines involved, ... it's pure genius. Totally exposing the entire scam and culminating in the PAC ads.

People I know in SC are seriously considering voting in the Repub primary, never did before. Dems and Inds.

Wonder if TP or other Repubs might vote for Cain as protest. Curious to see the rally Friday at CofC.

comedian, even Jon Stewart and his team don't tickle my funny bone and admiration as much as Stephen's.

I've been a Stewart fan since back in the day - but Colbert, and his writing team, bumped it up a notch, and then some, and then some more.

He actually has a good voice.
Loved the Colbert/Cain pictures. What a talent.
I just don't know how he does it - with (usually) a straight face too.
