Something VERY bad is going to happen when Barack Obama becomes President...

[msallied]

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are going to have no material left. These guys have kept me sane for 8 years. I can't just say goodbye!

[GodlessBiker]

1. Yes, I'm worried about Stewart (never got into Colbert). He will need to morph a little.

[msallied]

3. I love them both. It will be a rough transition for both of them. lol

[jkshaw]

2. Ah, but they'll

still have all those Republicans in congress to work with!

[msallied]

6. God I hope so. It's worth keeping Republicans around just so these guys

will have something to do. lol

[Richard Steele]

4. There are still plenty of Repubs in Congress committing serial douchebaggery.

Stewart & Colbert will be fine! :thumbsup:

[demokatgurrl]

38. and debauchery too.

[MnFats]

5. Oh, they'll think of something. I bet.

the per capita rate of total imbiciles in public life will remain at aa high level....always.
do not be overly concerned

[msallied]

12. You're right. I shouldn't underestimate even the best administration's abilities

to screw something up. lol

[jennied]

7. I love Obama

But isn't it some sort of requirement to poke a little fun at the current president???

[msallied]

8. Oh I'm sure Obama will make a couple of missteps here and there.

But twisting the knife just won't seem quite so gratifying. lol

[soleft]

9. I think it's more like they're going to be pissing us off

When the turn their attention to the democrats.

[tekisui]

10. They will skewer the Dems. Comedy can be found in politics

no matter who is in power.

The only difference is we will laugh, because of the human nature of politics, rather than laugh out of fear for our Country and Liberty. The past 8 years have needed humor as a coping mechanism to survive.

[msallied]

17. You make an excellent point. I think this will definitely change the media statire paradigm.

[Perky]

22. Yeah but the knock on Obama is that he just really is not "funny worthy"

Hard to caricature,

[Cha]

11. No worries..they'll be plenty of

reprigs left to expose in all TDS's humorous glory.

[Perky]

13. Yeah and what happens with "The Place for Politics"

Afterall. "Countdown" is pretty much premised on Counting down to the end of the election cycle.

[1corona4u]

24. Nah, KO was good even before all of that....

I remember him before Bush.

[Overseas]

14. There will still be disgusting right wing posturing to mock. //n

[blondeatlast]

15. Oh, they'll give Obama a honeymoon and then be just as wickedly funny with hiom, I HOPE.

Comedy has a power that keeps us focused in a way nothing else can. I want them to be as sharp and caustic with the good guys as I do the bad.

[msallied]

20. I hope you're right. I don't want these guys to lose their stride.

[1corona4u]

16. Good, maybe Jon will have time to study his history...

he, stupidly I might add, said the other night, that there was no TV when FDR was president. I was no not impressed...I let him know though, that FDR was in fact the first president to ever go on TV. I like Jon, but he just looked stupid saying that. Especially when it was a dig against one of our own.

[Ian_rd]

18. I'm confident that they'll have more than enough material until the Rapture.

This is America.

[TheDonkey]

19. Rethugs will still roam the country. There will ALWAYS be material.

[JuniperLea]

21. They can still parody the GOP for laughs

By pointing out all the obviously GOOD things Obama's administration is doing, and saying the opposite, that they are bad... it will still be a bizarro world in the land of American politics:)

How dare Obama put all those Americans to work! How dare he make sure everyone has health care! What kind of dink is Obama anyway? Where does this guy get off cutting taxes for the poor and taking tax cuts away from the rich? Who the hell does he think he is? Robin Hood? What kind of freakazoid balances the budget?

Heh... it will work as long as there are dumbass Republicans spewing toxic stupidity.

[msallied]

25. The death throes of the GOP machine will probably last at least until 2010. lol

It's a political infinity until then.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

23. Colbert might actually have to become a real right wing pundit to the

right of "Papa Bear".

[msallied]

26. I think as long as Papa Bear and the like remain in their cognitively dissonant bubbles on Fox News

Colbert will always have someone to brilliantly mock. At least there is that. lol

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

29. O'Lielly is such a common street walker that I wonder if he won't switch just

to be on the winning side.......On the other hand there is more money to be made in trafficking hate. So i guess not.

[ebdarcy]

27. They'll still have the MSM to mock.

And, unfortunately, there will still be stupid republican senators and congressmen, it'll just be a smaller number than before.

Seriously, I'm not worried at all about Jon Stewart. I could see how there could be difficulty for the Colbert Report though. Colbert is at his best when he's trying to spin right-wing stupidity and policies. So, he might have some revamping to do with a Democratic administration.

[msallied]

31. You make a good point regarding mocking the MSM. They aren't going to change.

[JenniferJuniper]

28. Nah. The Republicans won't be dead, they'll just be pining.

Plenty of material will always be out there. Sadly.

[Cleita]

30. They will do what they always do and that is to

point to the ridiculous and the foibles of our elected officials except that this time it will be the Democrats who are in power. I don't mind because I like the fact that they try to keep them honest and our side sometimes needs that too.

[bunkerbuster1]

34. Hear, hear.

Or as the bumper-voiceover used to go on the Rachel Maddow radio show: "Calling out Democrats when they f*ck up."

[vaberella]

32. There's always O.J. Simpson...they'll never run out of material when that guys around.

Politics wise...we have plenty of shady dealers in the Senate and House on both ends...

[msallied]

33. Well, with us entering another Great Depression, bailout or not, that will probably be

all the material we need right there. What better time to lampoon the leadership than when America is starving to death. We have to get through somehow.

[ProSense]

35. Oh, just wait until you see

the Congressional Repubs in action: hissy fits, tears, walkouts, etc.

[bperci108]

36. What a picture!

That's even better than the pic of John Ashcroft under the Titties of Justice. :woohoo:

I'm stealing the Men of Steel pic.... ;)

[FatDave]

37. Remember how republicans reacted when Clinton was elected?

There will be plenty to work with, don't you worry.

[Schulzz]
