Colbert rips O'Reilly a new one...

[Archae]

O'Reilly just doesn't get it, does he?

4. I'm going to miss Colbert's pseudo-persona.

While I'm sure he'll do great in his own natural role, there was something so wonderful about him channeling O'Reilly, Hannity and the like to a tee.

5. There's a poll on FatFinger asking

Whether he should drop the "over the top" Conservative persona.

FatFinger is a mobile phone app on at least Apple which asks one set of three questions each day. Some political, some cultural.

Unfortunately today's poll has a problem, on my phone at least, and I can't complete it. YMMV

There already seems to be a preponderance of Liberals using it daily, but I'd like to see more.

(I have no connection to FatFinger other than as a user).

6. "Over the top"?

No matter how hard he tries Colbert can never top the reality of how fucked up Republicans are. When you are dealing with a political party that believes that the minimum wage should be abolished, that working 2 or 3 jobs is "Uniquely American" , that getting health care, food, and assistance to the people who need it is a bad thing, that the invasion of Iraq was a resounding success, that torture is a good thing, etc, etc... there is no such thing as "over the top".

9. Their words, not mine

Hence the quotes, and the request for others to participate.

12. Sorry, that wasn't a shot at you...

How is the poll going? Do people think he's "over the top"?

[dickthegrouch]

13. They've seen the feedback which says it doesn't work on an iOS 7.1 device

So they withdrew the poll on Colbert and replaced it with a different one.

7. Bing, bing, bing

[Jack Rabbit]

8. I never heard of the grievence industry

Is that where O'Reilly goes to demand action on the War on Christmas?

10. The GOP is losing their mind over his move to the Late Show.

[tavernier]

11. Bingo

Oh the weeping and wailing!!!

Lovin' it.

[aikanae]

14. I'd be scared if he did "get it"

It's comforting to know this stuff goes over their heads.

15. Interesting conundrum. How does one rip an asshole a new asshole? Clone him?
