Do people really believe his persona on his show? Maybe that's it?

1. My husband asked the same question! I dunno, but am glad they did! nt

[NightOwwl]

2. That's my theory....

They thought they were getting Stephen Colbert from the Colbert Report. Instead they got the real Stephen Colbert.

Suckers!!!

3. THAT is how out of touch they are, I believe it! n/t

13. are you sure about that blog? no way they'd let that guy be the

head of WH correspondents

5. opps

he is a democrat who has hosted a show on Air America.... he is a liberal...

i guess they thought his show was real on comedy central.

6. If they thought Colbert was an actual Rep. Pundit...

they have to be the stupidest people walking God's green Earth!Anyone that can't hear the drip of sarcasm off every word he says on his show is denser than lead!

:rofl:

[Duer 157099]

7. Um.. you're saying they might not be denser than lead?

I suspect that they might just think he's a closet conservative!

Edit: make that "thought" -- if they used to think that, I bet they don't anymore!

8. I think they knew -they've been muzzled.

he said what they've been dying to say for 5 years

[chookie]

9. Maybe because he's the hottest comic in America n/t

[Jim Sagle]

15. And if he wasn't the hottest before, he sure is now!

[Kurovski]

10. I think it was some guy from the AP.

If you watch it again on C-Span, I think it's revealed in the intro to Colbert.

[Quantess]

11. Oh the irony!

Stephen Colbert's satirical lavish praise of * is SO over the top, and he acts like such a transparent hypocrite....could it be possible....the * Administration thinks Colbert is SINCERE?!

:spray: :rofl: :applause:

[babylonsister]

12. If they did, they were dead wrong. And the wh didn't hire Colbert.

Who did, and kudos to them!

16. there was a story a month or so go that their original invites all said no

Jerry Seinfeld, David Letterman and Jon Stewart.

I'm guessing they were looking for someone with some bite and it seems they got their wish.
