Imus on Clinton vs Colbert on Bush**.

[trof]

What do you think?

I think Imus on Clinton was way over the line.
Colbert on Bush** was BRAVERY.

1. what can the savage bastard do?

that murdering prick can scheme all he wants, but colbert's a hero to the people now; what can the gopig's ringleader do?

2. Couldn't agree more.

I think?

3. Colbert went after the Chimp for his policies

not for his real or purported private life, which is what Imus did. It's not like Iraq, New Orleans, the retired Generals, etc. aren't all part of his public dossier. If he had started making cracks about george's coke use, drinking, or paternity of illegitimate children, that would have been Imusesque; what Colbert did tonight was decidedly different.

4. I agree 100 %

tho I was surprised by Colbert's BALLS.
The Thomas bit was bushes worst nitemare.

9. Eh ...

Private life is open season for comedians, which is what Imus thinks he is.

I've never really liked Imus. Don't find him humorous in the least, so, no, I didn't like Imus on Clinton simply because I didn't find it particularly funny.

But do note something, the difference between the way Clinton handled it and the way Shrub handled it. That's the "tell."
