Am so waiting for Stephen Colbert in Iraq

His absolute genius is amazing.

And I know... some people do not get him. But the fact is, he is a 'construct', an artisitic figure, and the satire is sometimes so mean and angry, it is over the top for good.

But.... he is really involved in getting funds to children of US force troops for their school projects, and help the wounded coming home... He seems to do a lot.

But shh! Don't tell anyone....

Or the others might want to horn in on his gig. Although they should.

Genius. Pure and simple.

I could cite an Austrian that good, but he has long since left the realm of the living. And people wouldn't understand him anyway. Helmut Qualtinger. Legendary here. He too could hold up a mirror to society, and blow their minds without them turning against him.

And that, my friends, is art with a capital A.


Update. Hard audience, but they went with it. He has some cojones. But we've known that since he stood a couple of feet away from Bush at the Washngton Press dinner, and lambasted them. That was a high point in my opinion. Am waiting for him to soar. And yes, he plays nerd... but is anything but.

His finest moment so far....
