5. Audience reaction sounded much warmer on these clips

than when I watched it on c-span, where there seemed to be only stony silence. Could there be something about the sound recording that would make this happen?

6. Stony silence

Of course, the more disconcerting stony silence is this one: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-durang/ignoring-colbert-part-tw_b_20130.html

A sitting president is completely dressed down by one of the greatest wits of the day -- and how's this for irony-- in front of the entire news-media establishment, and it's barely making the news!?

This shows you how important the Internet is. If they shut us down here, no real news will ever get out.

8. I'm glad this link has the Introduction by Mark Smith of AP

talking about "fearless, he will defend the truth whether or not it is under attack"

9. Good thing that Mark Smith...

... was already on his way out as president of the Correspondents' Association.

He's probably on a plane to Gitmo right now.
