Oh, fuck ME: Salon wants to know if Stewart & Colbert have "crossed the line, become too shrill"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

NO, Mary Elizabeth Williams, they HAVEN'T, and your check from Fox News should be arriving any day now.

Jon Stewart
Have Colbert and Stewart crossed the line?
The comedians' upcoming rallies will mock Glenn Beck's histrionics. But are they becoming too shrill themselves?

1. She's just jealous...

they probably turned down her stalking-proposal one too many times.

8. When I stop guffawing and take a breath, I'll reply...

:rofl: x7

2. because signs saying "take it down a notch" would be too shrill.

11. They need signs saying "Careful Now" and "Down With This Sort Of Thing"

3. I trust you have emailed her to convey that?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4. I need to come down a few degrees before doing that...

...but yeah, it needs to be said.

5. Colbert did a long time ago

He's a real one-schtick pony and the schtick has gotten pretty played out over the past few years. Stewart still has his touch, though.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7. But he's doing O'Reilly and O'Reilly is a one-trick pony...

...that's the whole joke, period. "The Colbert Report" is "The O'Reilly Factor." O'Reilly's played out. Colbert is playing O'Reilly. What else is he supposed to do?

6. Salon jumped the shark about a year or so back

[onecent]

9. Jon Stewart is presently on Oprah....and what a master!!!!!

I wish he would RUN for president.....lol

10. The comments are a hoot. Most everyone is disagreeing with the author.

It's nice to read article comments that aren't from right-wing morons for a change.

12. She's clearly suffering from irony-deficiency

And wouldn't know parody if it bit her on the ass...:eyes:

[hlthe2b]

13. She is getting really ripped in the comments--good.

[damntexdem]

14. When they become too shrill ...

they'll still make it funny.

15. Did Salon miss the interview done on the Union last night? It wasn't pandering

to the left.
