Making Colbert go away

The docile press corps was offended when Stephen Colbert dared to expose Bush's -- and their own -- feet of clay. But how to respond? Voilà: "He wasn't funny."

    i'm sorry but it was funny

    colbert was funny and he spoke the truth. i hear retardedly stupid shit all the time that people are laughing at on tv. notably - george bush hasn't made a joke as funny as even one of colberts worst in his whole life, except kiss ass press people laugh all the time. even rumsfeld - who makes me scared when he smiles - gets laughter from the press corps.

    anyway - i am sorry but colbert was funny. it just shows how out of touch the press corps and the govt is with the common american if they didnt get his jokes. what a bunch of crap.

    argh - whatever - i am used to it. people are stupid.
