[lbo-talk] Colbert on Daily Show yesterday, post-Bush bashing

[Blackmail]

Have you seen Colbert's nightly show? He assimilates the various
personalities of conservative talking heads. His Stossel is pretty great,
and was particularly great when he interviewed Stossel. If you haven't seen
the show, then you don't know that that's his schtick, and I think he does a
better job of lampooning conservative hacks and their liberal apologists
than anyone in the mainstream, or even the so-called indie comedy circuit.
