1. Thats funny I didn't hear any

[PittPoliSci]

2. i specifically listened for them.

they were there.

however, he is putting on a good show.

4. He's kind of coming off as a loon...

He's trying to hard to appeal to the kids and he's giving off a "weird old dude" vibe.

[Kitka]

9. My thoughts exactly.

And it's really sad.

5. I thought it was cool

that Stephen Colbert announced he was a Democrat.

[Kitka]

7. So did I. Jon always shies away from

talking personal politics. I also like that in the end Steve said 'you or Kerry - either is fine with me....'

Though we all know what he was really thinking.

[Fenris]

8. He is; he's a known liberal

He was on Majority Report once. Very bright.

[LTR]

12. According to this site, he's more of a moderate

FYI: Kerry and Edwards both rate farther left according to this scale.

13. Who are we talking about here?

I was talking about Colbert.

[LTR]

15. Oh, sorry...

I was talking about Nader.

[Fenris]

16. Pah! No.

[Tweed]

11. Yeah, that was VERY interesting

I had heard Colbert say he is liberal before and its quite obvious from the show, but announcing party affiliation is something else.

3. nader : anyone's better than bush but that doesn't mean dems don't flunk.

n/t

6. I just figured out why ralphie never stands a chance

he has a small head and huge hands. Okay - there are some hair issues, too.

[Neshanic]

10. That and the small planets that orbit his head and send him messages

[theivoryqueen]

14. would Jon have gone into the republican money he's been taking?
