I saw this gem on Editor and Publisher.com
Apparently this is a true support of * if he thinks he actually won the debates!

Bush beat Kerry in the debates and Bush was funnier than Colbert at the dinner. Bush wins again!

1. The reason they didn't find it funny is because to them it wasn't..

I was actually seriously taken aback. I flipped on Hannity's radio show yesterday and some other local right wing loon. And they sounded exactly like Colbert did at the roast. They were saying the same exact things only they weren't being sarcastic. They weren't being satirical. That's why they can't find it funny because to them it's not. It's the way they actually think.

3. Sarcastic wit is lost on them.

An acquaintance actually told me that he was surprised I like the Colbert Report, since Stephen was so obviously pro-Bush.:crazy:

Ummm...

5. Irony is lost on them...Thats why they couldnt react...

If you notice, Helen Thomas and Joe Wilson got the joke. I'm sure Bush missed it. Laura Bush has that Prozac smile all the time. McClellan looked half in the bag, the lame duck that he is.

2. Sure, but Bush is a psychotic liar and Colbert told the truth.

4. What Colbert said was true and they knew it. So they did not like it.
