    Funny? Who cares, that was a performance of a lifetime.

    No, Stephen wasn't funny. He was brilliant, as in he illuminated the Truth. I for one don't care if anybody laughed in that room.

    Stephen's performance is one that I will remember for a long time, far far longer than if it has been just another SNL skit. Like Dan Rather's famous line to Nixon, Colbert delivered a flawless and daring moment of truth. We don't need to laugh.
