1. Finally some coverage..... this is great !!!

2. Obviously, we saw something different from Milbank

"I don't think it crossed a line, I just don't think it was terribly funny".

No accounting for taste, I suppose. Or ignorance.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. NO, he was being sarcastic. - - - - i think.

then again, MSM was not amused. Perhaps, Millbank was not amused.

4. They really didn't think it was funny...

...I am still laughing, of course, but they don't get it - even Keith - I don't get it.

6. Seemed to me Keith was refuting Milbank

Saying that Colbert was wittier and that Bush's bit was lame, when Milbank said the opposite.

8. Of course Keith gets it. That's why Colbert's being highlighted.

And it's way too late for the naysayer pundits to rag on Colbert. My son, who's a good gauge for me to determine what's hot on the internet with the young voters, thought Colbert was brilliant. He watched it twice. Colbert is hot!

[lisa58]

11. I agree with your son, absolutely...

...I just was disappointed with Keith - I thought he was "clearer" in his thinking about the media - but what do I know, I don't work in the media. I hope Colbert's ratings go up so the media can see that this is the way we see them, Colbert made sense to us - the media needs to know that.

13. We need to send them the "thankyoustephencolbert.org" link...

16,111 messages to Colbert so far.

5. well that was short and less than sweet.....

Some good clips.... but Keith had to put on his kid gloves.... Sad.

9. Keith's check is signed by a BIG investor of defense contracts.

At least he brought attention to Colbert. What I'm really looking forward to are both the Daily Show & The Colbert Report tonight.

10. Keith has already said, GE doesn't give a fig what he says.

Besides, he's not chicken enough to back down from that sort of crap.

I am not sure myself why he was so disappointing here, but something tells me it has more to do with some personal notion of his that it's bad taste to lash into and insult people who invite you to speak at their event--no matter how much they deserve it--than anything else.

Me, I disagree. I think they had it coming and I am glad Colbert gave it to them. All of them.

12. Could "Colbert Report" being his competition

have anything to do with Keith's attitude? Just a thought.

[Berry Cool]

14. If he's jealous of Colbert,

why the hell did he go on his show and did they have such a great time on it? :shrug:
