Medium matters: Folks, the "Betray Us" ad was offensive because it was in print, and that made it permanent. I heard that after you throw away a New York Times, it takes over 100 years for the lies to biodegrade. But Rush made his comment on the radio, and he chose a career in radio for a reason -- because he can say whatever he wants and then it's gone forever. It's the same freedom I enjoy with my radio show Colbert On the ERT. For three hours a day -- yeah! Some On the ERT fans out there -- now, for three hours a day, I shout whatever pops into my head and it is over. I never give it a second thought. Here's a comment I made on my show just last night:

COLBERT

1. k&r

Hatemongers like Media Matters take innocent statements like mine, Rush Limbaugh's, John Gibson's, and Bill O'Reilly's and make them offensive by posting them on the Internet, allowing the general public to hear words that were meant for people who already agree with us.

I love Stephen.

Very, very glad of it.
