Re: Colbert is Rude
I remember when The Daily Show wasn't just about politics politics politics...
But come on... Intellectually dishonest cowards?
Especially with Colbert... I mean, he's someone who's frequently made a mockery of religion (This Week in God on The Daily Show, and numerous times in his attempt to portray his Right Wing character on Colbert Report), but is in fact a devout Catholic himself... Apparently even a Sunday school teacher at some point in time (though you can't always believe everything the internets tells you)...
And while I'm not saying he and Stewart are closet Republicans, and there's no denying that Jon Stewart leans to the left, I think that sometimes it's the same way with their political humor... Especially when you consider that they're not the only one's writing the material for the show...
But hey, for a number of years back when The Daily Show really hit it's peak, The Republicans were the ones in power... House, Senate and President... Them focusing most of their political jokes on the guys up top wasn't much different than how you're pinning the "intellectually dishonest coward" remarks squarely on the two hosts...
Though these are the opinions of someone who is not offended by anything... Except maybe people getting seriously offended by comedy (or "comedy")...
Quick on topic note: The Colbert interviews in which guests become frustrated with his act are cringe-worthy for numerous reasons..
