As I see it, that is somewhat similar to Colbert's point. The stuff he said about Bush wasn't all that groundbreaking. It's stuff everybody already knows - the Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday stuff was even one of Bush's campaign issues. His venom was primarily pointed at the press - any self respecting journalists should be twisting the knife a little bit.
