    Colbert is an Hero

    Dear Editor, thank you for showing the video since some of my friends did not see the dinner on tv. I watched the whole think,and even though I thought that Colbert was very daring, I loved it.

    Who else in Washington would dare to tell it like it is? not our Representatives, no our Senators or anyone else. Those that have spoken against this administration as you must know, they have been fired.We have lost many of our liberties under this secret and corrupted administration.I have not supported Bush since the day that he got elected because of Carl Rove fixing of many votes to benefit Bush.Also because of Abramoff, we know how they paid for Bush to be elected.This man is ignorant of the world and can not even speak English correctily in order to talk to the many leaders of other country. He has alienated everyone. I watch Stephen Colbert every noght and he should be our next President.I enjoyed his homor immensely and I feel bad for those that did not laugh or approve.Thanks for listing this Colbert episode on the Salon. Joni Rossello (a young senior)
