    Tipping point

    Stephen Colbert's brave and brilliant performance is proof positive that the major media have drunk the kook-aid, and have begged for sloppy seconds. "Thank you, sir, may I have another!?" In twenty minutes, Colbert exposed the whole sordid cowardly sham. Whore House press corp, a collective lap dog rolliing over and pissing on itself at its master's raised hand, with a rolled up copy of the WSJ. Like the previous poster said: joke 'em if they can't take a fuck. The Daily Show and the Colbert Report show more stones in one evening than the rest of the neutered lot does in a year. Goodyear. Make that Hindenburg, a Nazi gasbag going down in flames.
