4 days later and Colbert continues to own the blogosphere.

The article itself is written pretty much down the middle, but the accompanying picture of Bush looking like he just bit into a lemon is priceless. The jug-eared little prick's expression clearly reveals his vapid, immature, and cowardly nature. It's like that day back in the 5th grade when you finally turned to the class bully and said, "Either fuck off or come get a piece, because I'm tired of you and all your shit."

For his courage in looking Bush straight in the eye while publicly eviscerating him, Stephen Colbert has earned a spot in my personal pantheon of heroes.

1. This board has turned into...

The Colbert Worship Chapel. All Colbert, All Day.

He did not discover a cure for cancer.

2. Uh oh, now you've done it.

You're in trouble now.

7. LOL! nt

12. Hostility is a psychic boomerang...

20. Going to skin me a

a pet doggy :evilgrin:

[shenmue]

23. What a shame.

I thought it was a free country. I thought people were allowed to have different opinions.

Trouble? What are you talking about? Are you serious?

I'm "in trouble"? Should I be worried about that? Do you realize what you said?

And this is from an Admin.

This is ridiculous. I'm off the board now.

24. #2 is clearly sarcastic.......this is....????

[lonestarnot]

3. But he was close!

and besides that he :yourocks: rocks!

[nashville_brook]

5. well, he did discover a cure for the Bush Blues

[90-percent]

6. Colbert Worship Chapel

When Stephen discovers the cure for cancer, you are gonna eat your words.

Colbert is Clapton and Zappa rolled into one!

It is our collective duty as lesser humans to make Stephen the center of the entire Internets!

17. Nice Blend!

good job mate!

[rocktivity]

8. No, just a cure for an intimdated, sychophantic national media

which has been the Bush monarchy's most insurmountable weapon. And the fact that the media is grudgingly taking notice four days later only proves Colbert's point.

[Cha]

10. No it hasn't! There's plenty

of other stuff to care about.

[redqueen]

11. Thanks for dropping in the thread with your words of encouragement

and positivity!

:eyes: indeed!

:hi:

[acmejack]

16. Freedom of choice gives you the power NOT to click on the thread

The point is that the title was clearly labeled as to the content of this thread and it was not a Colbert ambush thread, luring the unwary reader in with falsehoods. Just don't do it if it causes you such angst!

Why give yourself a reason to be so unsettled at this early hour with the bulk of the day yet to come? But I suppose if this is the biggest thing that upsets you today, you have a relatively good life though...

[Loge23]

19. It's the audacity of the whole thing!

This administration has basically received a free pass from the press. Now, here's a satirist a couple of feet away from the bubble boy just banging him.
No, no cure for cancer; but almost a miracle just the same.

[Protagoras]

21. Sweet, thanks for the lead in so I can announce my new...

24 Hour Church of Colbert. Hope you are prepared to read from the book of Truthiness!

:woohoo:

[WinkyDink]

22. Metaphorically, perhaps he did.

[Minnesota Libra]

4. What do you want to bet this is going to grow and grow and that in........

....in end :yourock:Stephen Colbert:headbang: will be a hero for most of America.:patriot: Anyone up for writing the WH and the VP???? Yea, I know HLS and all but hey someone needs to rub it in a little more.:bounce: :toast:

[herbbrown]

14. Alot of Colbert

But you've got to admit the writing and performance were brilliant, you haven't seen this since Stewart called that bow tie wearing chimp an idiot. It was brilliant!!!

[xchrom]

9. what ever gets the job done.

if truthiness is what takes on bushco and the msm -- and beats them -- who am i to stand in the way?

[Cha]

13. I like your depiction of

of bush in all of this and that 5th grade comment! And I agree with about Stephen Colbert. I didn't use to watch his show cause I didn't get it but now I do. :)

[reality based]

15. The best part was that the targets of Colbert's derision quit laughing.

They took devastating hits and they knew it. It was sweet and it's even sweeter when you hear one of them bloviate about how unfunny he was. It was a tour de force. They were not laughing but they were listening-- very uncomfortably.

18. In Your Face

M$M... Caught you with your pants down... Just go write down what the decider decides, and put it through spell check, and go home.... Write that novel you have kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid reporter who exposes corruption in Washington...
