Ordinarily, I love Colbert and his witty, insightful, off-handed, back-handed, and slight-of-handed humor, but I just didn't find his treatment of Pascrell funny, and for that matter, any of his other interviews with Democratic Congresspeople. I mean, why put Dems into that mock-interview-- cleverly edited towards maximum humiliation as it is? Isn't his whole show a great big ironic answer against right-wing idealogues and cable circus clowns who do this in earnest in the first place?
Now, I hope I don't get slammed for this but if there's some crucial element I'm missing, then elighten me.
The ending was very funny too, with Colbert screening a copy of "The Godfather" for Pascrell edited to exclude Italian stereotypes. I won't give away what the film looked like or how long it lasted, but Diane Keaton was at the height of her beauty in that film, was she not?
