8. It's already over 20,000......
I just checked. Many people had a hard time accessing the site yesterday, it was extremely busy. I know I did and waited for an off hour to post mine. I'm guessing 50,000 by the end of today! ;)

40. It's over 30,000 now 6pm Pacific - here's what I wrote
Edited on Tue May-02-06 08:17 PM by Cronus Protagonist
As Mr. Colbert's left testicle, I think I can speak for the right ball as well.

I have to say that while it was very brave of Mr. Colbert to expose us so boldly on national TV, it was also an egregious violation of the trust we placed in Him, Mr. Colbert (or "the Hand of God" as we affectionately call Him). However, we do forgive him, in the light of the resulting events.

I think we made it clear, at the time, to Mr. Colbert that we might let him know of our displeasure by releasing tremendous quantities of pain, so Mr. Colbert took quite a risk in going ahead anyway.

Expecting the worst, we both retracted deep into Mr. Colbert's pelvis just before the speech, but the Hand of God dug us out and stretched us out onto stage right despite our understandable trepidation. Then Mr. Colbert slapped us right into Mr. Bush's rather nasty looking face, making us unure if pain would be the correct response to the stimulous as sheer disgust took over.

We thought that being shoved so noticeably into Mr. Bush's face would be painful, but we quickly found out that we had only fear itself to fear as Mr. Bush took the entire enslaught not unlike the way a three legged pussy in the cage next to the execution chamber might take a petting at the pound.

We're sure he'll make some muscle-bound Iranian prisoner a great cellmate after he's tried for his crimes because he didn't even ask for a reach-around while being screwed in front of millions of laughing Democrats and appalled Republicans alike.

Despite our disgust at being exposed like that, and the dubious decision of Mr. Colbert's to go ahead with the slap-down, overall we think that Mr. Colbert's bravery is both laudible and commendable, and we were glad to play a large part in the execution of a distasteful, yet undoubtedly valuable mission.

I'd like to note, for the record, we were both actually tickled pink by the whole thing, and yes, we are very, very well hung, thank you very much.

Best wishes,

OrbLeft & OrbRight
Mr. Colbert's Testicles



* damn, I misspelled his name at the end of the post...:(

Thank you Mr. Colbert, for having the guts and courage to spit in this Mis-Administration’s face, and to do it with style, class and grace. I applaud you!

We need to demand that they uphold their Constitutional duties. Let them know that one way or the other...we will hold them accountable. Period.

Peace.

16. Rethink? You think any thought went in that in the first place?
Here's how it works. The president makes decisions, he’s the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type.

18. Tweety must not be smart enough
to get subtle humor in Colbert's ironic diatribe!

And get this - Tweety will receive an honorary doctorate in Journalism from the University of South Carolina this weekend. He is the Commencement speaker. DISGUSTING! I should return my degrees in protest!

You are a hero and example for all of us.
Thank you for being brave and smart enough to use this platform to say aloud, to a broad audience that which desperately nneds to be said.
I hope you will have shamed them into doing their jobs once more.

The characterisation of your performance s having "bombed" because of the quiet reaction was obviously untrue. Rather, it was the stunned silence of a shackled, fearful press.

There's a new Spartacus in town and his name is Colbert!

Thank you.

at 1:39 pm pacific time (Tuesday).

Yes. THANK Stephen Colbert. He's a hero and a patriot. The sad part is - if you ask "are there any more out there like him?" the answer would be "no."
