Avedon Carol: Rounding off the Weekend

Colbert must have been channeling Aristophanes!--Dictynna

Everybody's talking about Colbert's complete failure to pretend Bush isn't a complete failure as a president. The right-wingers are sneering at "Colby" and his bad manners. It's just not funny to make fun of The Greatest Man in History. Editor & Publisher says the Little Prince was not amused. C&L has a clip. Atrios has posted his favorite bits from the transcript. Eli says its a "a must-watch speech/comedy piece." Christy praises Colbert for Colbert's command of a most difficult comedy format (and a most important one, too). Joe Gandelman says, contrary to the right-wingers' take, that Colbert did not bomb.
