1. Cspan repeating this in about 27 minutes.

I laughed so hard, I have to watch this again.

[babylonsister]

2. Great news! Colbert rocked the house subtly, as only he does! nt

[malaise]

4. He was subtle at the beginnng

then he took off the gloves. Anyone saw Kennny boy's face?

[brook]

9. I loved it, but...

Two sledgehammers and a shovel=subtle?

[babylonsister]

12. So he wasn't subtle. More power to him! nt

[DanCa]

3. I am going to have to watch the replay.

Missed most of it for first.

[babylonsister]

6. Well worth it, DanCa. There were lots of clips of former presidents

who attended. It was a great night!

[jbnow]

13. I have to tape the replay

of Colbert's part. It was history.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

5. i wish c-span would have open phones right now

i'd like to hear what the rwers have to say.

[babylonsister]

8. Wow! Great idea, except all the hosts are probably there! nt

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

22. they do it with just the announcer

and continue to show the video.

but it seems they are repeating it already.

[fooj]

7. Talk about a spanking......LOL!!!

:spank: :spank: :spank:

It's about time someone gives those whores a REAL DOSE of TRUTH!

[babylonsister]

10. I heard a snip of Fox; they were saying that no one was laughing, and

it wasn't worthy/important/entertaining/take your pick.

Colbert absolutely rocked!

[fooj]

14. Fricking whiners...

They don't like it when the truth smackes them right upside the head, do they?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[jbnow]

16. Yes, he will lose his

right wing fans for sure.

[babylonsister]

17. Yep. Every last one of them.

:rofl:

[Evergreen Emerald]

24. the reason he had the fans in the first place is because they were too

stupid to understand satire.

He was so good. I laughed till I cried. Oh that was funny.

[jbnow]

28. They must have been so stupid

they could not read. I can get they might miss the satire as he spoke but "The Word" is not subtle.

Neither was his routine tonight. That was the most stand up stand up I have ever seen.

[Sydnie]

30. I think they thought "The Word" was an attempt

at "balance". :rofl: You know ... a no bodied bullet point and nothing else representing the liberal side of things.

[radwriter0555]

31. Of course they weren't laughing. They were hearing the TRUTH and it wasn't

FUNNY!

There is no joy in being forced to listen to your own heresy, as those cowardly, sniveling 'reporters' were FINALLY faced with, thanks to Colbert.

[UTUSN]

11. COLBERT used a scalpel on Shrub where sL-IMUS used a machete on CLINTONn/t

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. And KUDOS to Helen for participating!

She also was awesome in his "Why Are We In Iraq" skit.

Still laughing :rofl:

[malaise]

18. What a tribute to Helen

I am still laughing. What a hoot. Can't wait for the talking heads on this slaughter - no anhilation. Damn!!

[babylonsister]

21. Ah, the talking heads. That will be interesting. Faux has already

invested in that. According to them, it sucked. Surprise!

[babylonsister]

19. Helen was also laughing hysterically while CSPAN panned to some

oh-so-serious faces. :evilgrin: I love that woman!

[Erika]

23. Yeah, she was great. n/t

[UTUSN]

20. Kudos to COLBERT for featuring her in Shrub's face n/t

[liam_laddie]

25. my hero Steven!

:bounce:
Colbert chopped, sliced, diced, pureed and flushed the criminals right down
the rhetorical drain. One of the cleverest performances I've ever had the pleasue to watch! The man is a genius in the mold of Samuel Clements, Woody Guthrie...
Bravo!!!
:toast:

[babylonsister]

27. The man IS a genius, and fearless!

:toast: I wonder if Jon Stewart attended?

[liam_laddie]

32. addendum...

In my glee last night, forgot to add Will Rogers, Mort Sahl...Colbert belongs in this firmament, IMHO. His material is so consistent, I'd wager he writes it himself.
Snark here...didn't Greta Von Sustern dress a bit, ummm..."manly" last night? Do Faux
viewers even get it?
:loveya: Steven!

[babylonsister]

26. Does anyone know if KO was there? nt

[Sydnie]

29. I didn't see him come in

but then, I did only see it the second time around. I think they edited the entrances for the rerun quite a bit.

I HOPE he was! He would have enjoyed that.
