History might say McGovern's ambush of Rummy owed to the Colbert Effect

[BurtWorm]

It won't necessarily be right about that, but if we see more and more of these ambuscades from the audience in the coming months, Colbert's performance might be seen as the turning point. (Which would be a little unfair to Cindy Sheehan and all the other brave dissidents who have gotten in the face of the Bushists, but history isn't always fair.)

1. Bush won't come within 200 yards of Cindy...

...but, if he did, I'm sure she'd have the Colberts (McGoverns) to go all Colbert (McGovern) on him.:thumbsup:

2. LOL! And some giant-sized Sheehans to boot!

3. No, it's called Colbert-itis

And I've got the copyright!

But seriously, folks, I think Cindy's groundwork make Colbert's that much more effective--after all, she wasn't a public figure. And though the effect was the same in capturing the imagination of the public, they used slightly different routes to get at the truth. So I think their legacies can peacefully co-exist.
