A new book argues that Colbert, Jon Stewart and Bill Maher are good for democracy. But is it taking late-night comedy too seriously?
  • Colbert is King

    If you haven't seen it recently I recommend you watch it again.

    Colbert's WH Press Correspondent's Dinner speech is probably the bravest most profound public speaking done in America in my lifetime. This man stood a few feet from the president and TORE into him, then when he'd finished humiliating the president, he unloaded on the rest of the room, courageously calling out the press corps for the failures they were. It was the most inspirational public speaking I'd ever seen.

    And funny too.
