On Not Getting It
 

I've found that a lot of people, especially on the Right, truly don't "get" Colbert's humor at all, regardless of the venue. For example, when Colbert does that self-aggrandizing trot to the interview desk on "The Report," he's making fun of the "real" pundits on Fox etc. It's a symbolic gesture. I bet some people are confused by that move and just turn off the tube.

I agree. The video was up to the standards of what normally gets viewed at those dinners (remember the Bush "looking for WMD's" video).

I think the speech was well and truly something noone expected.

The video probably had to be prescreened...

There was no way that speech would have passed a presrcreening, though.:lol:

Man, I just saw this about ten minutes ago, my parents were watching it and I stopped my pop-tart quest to watch too.

A-fuckin-mazing.

It gets me more that he said it TO BUSH, right there not twenty feet from him, than anything else.

The line about the photo-ops alone had me floored.

That's an understatement. (If they wise up and remove it, this is a support-DeLay site that put up a link to a Colbert interview, not realizing that Colbert is a satirist)

I see they also have a donation link. How much does it cost to process a transaction? If I were to donate a dollar, would it cost them more than a dollar to process it?

They have a $5 minimum, unfortunately. Though if you sent checks for less, they might cash them - and it would cost them more.

Donate $0.01 anyway. That will definitely cost them more to process than the value of the donation.
