The Colbert Report is a satirical television show.

Quote:
Q: Are you a Democrat?
A: Listen, it's a secret ballot. Yeah, I'm a Democrat. I'm not asking anybody to vote for Democrats or Republicans. I say everyone should vote for both candidates -- except me. Just let me vote for Kerry. Then we'll be fine.
Quote:
In an interview at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard Institute of Politics, he stated that he has "no problems with Republicans, just Republican policies."
Quote:
Colbert, whose office is adorned with a 1972 Richard Nixon campaign poster, admits to being a Democrat. But, he says, "I'm not someone with a particular political ax to grind. I'm a comedian. I love hypocrisy."

Palin seem to have insulting Americans down pat. They keep showing clips from her out on the campaign trail and she is sooooo annoying. "You know what they call that? Socialism!" Then she gets this annoying smirk on her face. She comes across as a bitchy cheerleader running for class president.

Personally, I think McCain regrets choosing this idiot as his running mate. He knows she's killed his chances at becoming president. Maybe I should embrace her since she's helping put Obama in the Whitehouse.

You don't get out much, do you?
I love your analogy in this post, since Colbert, is a fake neocon, you knew that, right?
If you did not know that, you probably think pro rassling is real too.

Mr. Colbert has a lot of people fooled...remember the Press Club Dinner?

A couple of my favorites:
"I'm sorry, but this reading initiative. I'm sorry, I've never been a fan of books. I don't trust them. They're all fact, no heart. I mean, they're elitist, telling us what is or isn't true, or what did or didn't happen. Who's Britannica to tell me the Panama Canal was built in 1914? If I want to say it was built in 1941, that's my right as an American! I'm with the president, let history decide what did or did not happen. The greatest thing about this man is he's steady. You know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday. Events can change; this man's beliefs never will.

...
As excited as I am to be here with the president, I am appalled to be surrounded by the liberal media that is destroying America, with the exception of Fox News. Fox News gives you both sides of every story: the president's side, and the vice president's side. But the rest of you, what are you thinking, reporting on NSA wiretapping or secret prisons in eastern Europe? Those things are secret for a very important reason: they're super-depressing. And if that's your goal, well, misery accomplished. Over the last five years you people were so good -- over tax cuts, WMD intelligence, the effect of global warming. We Americans didn't want to know, and you had the courtesy not to try to find out. Those were good times, as far as we knew.
But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works: the president makes decisions. He's the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know - fiction!

...
John McCain is here. John McCain, John McCain, what a maverick! Somebody find out what fork he used on his salad, because I guarantee you it wasn't a salad fork. This guy could have used a spoon! There's no predicting him. By the way, Senator McCain, it's so wonderful to see you coming back into the Republican fold. I have a summer house in South Carolina; look me up when you go to speak at Bob Jones University. So glad you've seen the light, sir."

No, he's a first rate fake news man.

Sean Hannity is a second rate fake news man.

I bet a lot of these threads are created from people linking the Onion believing the articles are for real.
Hold on...the Onion is not REAL...(furiously deleting link to Onion article as rebuttal to youtube link decrying Joe Biden as a martian from Crypton)...
