Colbert v. Edwards: The Battle of the Favorite Sons

Seth Pollack:

This is classic. Congrats to the Edwards team for a great response and thank you Colbert for showing these chumps what a real American candidate looks like...nacho cheese and all.

Pretty funny. Colbert is in the pocket of Big Nachos, eh?

Yesterday Paul Gastris at the Washington Monthly had an entertaining piece about his Colbert show appearance...

Full agreement with Seth Pollack.

John Edwards should be applauded for "getting it." Most candidates would either ignore or deride Colbert for being in the race by focusing on "real issues" but Edwards is showing personality by playing the game.

I think Colbert may (in his roundabout way) be trying to bring out new dimensions of the candidates by bringing up these silly attacks. John Edwards rose to the challenge and came off looking like he doesn't mind a little self-deprecation.

I predict that Colbert will focus his sights on other candidates to see if they take the bait.

Speaking of fake news, apparently Fox can't resist inserting propaganda into its World Series coverage...

This is big fun. I sure hope the lawyers don't mess things up for Stephen and us. Thanks to the Edwards folks and Karen as well.

Karen Tumulty:

Considering that we're trying to determine who's going to be the president of the United States - one of the most important jobs in the world - don't you think you have a duty to do your job and try and do some real reporting for a change instead of trivial jokes like this?

Other than covering the horserace details - something any blogger could do - have you done any real reporting, asked any real questions about policy, called candidates on their lies and misleading statements, or anything even remotely similar?

Great stuff. What's brilliant about the Colbert run is that far from trivializing politics, it brings to light how ridiculous modern politics has already become.

QUESTION HILLARY tm

:

Senator Kerry responds to this troubling news:

My fellow Azerbaijanians, I am troubled, seriously and effeminately troubled, by the ongoing yet circumspect CBS memo fashion in which we appear to seem to perhaps to allege for about 4 months give or take plus medivac comp time that beyond a quickie Cambodian whore hut shadow of a doubt, heretofore and forthwith, with appropriate President Peanut resolution and re-consideration of any overriding legal authority not stuffed in associated tube socks, in as much as I must impress upon Portugal and all the other three nations that I call home, with vichy and just ski wax for all, but not in any way to demean or demand or demolay the point, for without a confident air of SUV transmission for the sake of private Idaho puppies and many other local fire hydrants, to have and to hold, for richer or even richer, and with sparkling Zimbabwean fan fare if not more so the systematic and uncomfortable omen of Clintoid cop secrecy and fine wine, we must, truly must abridge any notion and eventual support for the complete global test tubes and full hearing of matters before us beloved Boston Blue Caps fanatics, and that no man should look asunder under Allah with lib sheep and tush wipes for all...
