1. Yes I did.
I loved the segment about "Celebrity Names". He couldn't keep from cracking himself up! It was the first crack in the faux shell he wears and it was a riot!

11. Boehner must have been selected before Colbert learned that
Tom Delay is now on the Appropriations Committee.

5. He was cracking himself up last night. He doesn't usually do that
so it was pretty funny.

Lately, it seems like he has been letting a little more of himself peek through the blowhard character.

9. The Should Be A Nightly Feature
Boenner is just the start of the list of Repugnicans who deserve that award. The hypocrisy of these goons are only surpassed by their hubris and there's so much of it in today's GOOP it could provide for hours of laughs...the sad part is how much its cost us in life and treasure.

The corruption runs so deep within the GOOP that it's gonna be hard for them to find someone who is truly clean...who hasn't been in a lobbyist's pocket or basement or has ties to Abramoff or both. The game morons like Boenner are playing is to portray they're doing something and playing "preventive defense" in hopes of brushing this scandal under the rug. The need for those perks...the attention...the money is so deep that he and others are willing to destroy the Constitution and the concept of representative government and checks and balances for his own self-serving greed. But then welcome to America, 2006.

14. Thanks I'll watch this evening.
I'm starting to like Colbert a little bit better than Jon, but maybe Stewart is just in a little slump, eh? Don't get me wrong I think Jon Stewart is good.
