    hahahahhaha

    I thought the whole bit was hysterically funny. The problem was that everyone wanted Colbert to step out of character and *nudge, nudge, wink, win* let on that it was all a joke. For him to have to poise to keep going in character speaks to his incredible talent.

    The audience was discomfited, as well they should be. There was not a person in the room who would crucify George Bush if it served his/her purpose, but only behind his back. To watch him have to squirm under the jokes about his administration was too much for the pack.

    Hypocrites all. Stephen Colbert, will you marry me?
