"Hilarious," Utterly Unpredicable Colbert Bit With Kos!

I say "hilarious" because the media person publicizing this claims it to be so. I don't blame her. She's being paid to say so. And you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's arse.

Standard Colbert apologism, entirely unfunny and entirely predictable, as lame and as mind-numbingly didactic as anything you'll find on the much-derided Half-Hour Comedy Hour. And yet the latter is ripped as hack, while Colbert -- doing the same schtick with the same level of comedy value -- is praised as "genius."

Whatever.

Since everyone's going to link it anyway, I'll do so. Colbert makes teh big funny about how Kos cannot possibly control what is written on his site, including, I guess, what he himself writes, such as writing of the four murdered civilian contractors: "Screw them. They're mercenaries. I feel nothing."

What a shock that Colbert forgets to mention that.

But as the inconveniently anti-American and pro-terrorist Kos is now big shakes in the Democratic Party, the media must do its part to rehabilitate his image so that the public doesn't get the wrong ideas. Ideas like major Democratic candidates for President, as well as the Majority Leader in the Senate, are now toadying up to an obscene toad who writes approvingly of the murder of Americans at the hands of terrorists.

Watch and learn. Colbert is as funny as his he is honest.
