Colbert was very easy on Toby Kieth tonight....

[WCGreen]

He was much more aggressive with Niel Young, for instance....

I was a little disappointed....

[Kire]

1. Colbert's Character is a Conservative

Honestly, I had trouble following it. I was surfing during the whole thing.

[WCGreen]

3. I know that but he does go after the Republicans

by over exaggerating their views to the point of making them look down right silly....

[Freedomofspeech]

2. I was extremely disappointed...

I thought he would take him on about the Dixie Chicks. I just wasted a precious 30 minutes of sleep, hoping to see a good show.

[patrice]

4. TK said some pseudo-gay things about Willie Nelson.

So that's okay with red-necks now?

[TlalocW]

5. Yeah, but Neil Young is smart enough to "fight back"

And have some fun with Colbert's act.

Toby Keith never struck me as that smart a guy.

6. I liked his "better know a district"...

...now that's something: he's put incumbants on notice. If they won't go on the show during election season, he'll put their challenger on instead.

Very clever!

[patrice]

11. The interview with that Democratic candidate was very clever.

SC at his best.

[K-W]

7. Toby Keith doesnt take things seriously enough to be lampooned

Hes a musician not a commantator.

[WCGreen]

12. If that were true, then why has he made part of his career

posing as the 2000 incarnation of Mr. Yankee Doodle Dandy....

The guy writes, or sings songs others write, that border on, no truly are, sycophantic in nature...

So yea, he deserved to be shreaded...

Cause like it or not, a lot of people look to guys like TK to provide them a moral compass...

He therefor qualifies as a commentator..

[CarlVK]

8. Toby is a Bush tool

I think Natalie had him nailed in the t-shirt she wore once "FUTK"

[TahitiNut]

9. It'd be like making fun of a kid on the short yellow bus.

Toby's IQ and diastolic pressure are probably about the same. Hypotensive.

[patrice]

10. Colbert did right. It's good/smart to keep them guessing. I really like

that about him. He's in control of "it", not predictable, more original.

TK's bunch would just take it out on the Dixie Chicks.

TK talked in a positive was about pot, ergo looked like a red-neck hypocrit. That was enough.
