But Colbert last night went waaaaaaay beyond what I have seen so far.
And it was very very good. That HAD to be one of the best I've seen in months.
He assaulted GOP thinking from so many sides, it was half a miracle. And topped it off with having Jimmy Cliff perform on his show, and it was the reggae 'pleaser', 'The Harder They Come, The Harder They Fall'... But one can see the newest number he has on the Website. I liked it very much....
What Stephen Colbert does in less than 23 minutes is just amazing. Like defending GLAAD, exposing the fact that the Brits are building the olympic village for 2012 on a toxic waste dump site, exposing an idiot who put US troops at risk.... THAT has to be a record.... Sometimes it pays off to pay attention.
The link is here.
I know that many people do not 'get' satire. His attacks were actually vicious today, but in the best possible way.
You can watch, or not... not many people appreciate it or understand it.
If you are weak, you develop a weapon, and it is words, and you attack with the only weapon you have, and he is a master at it.
But not all people recognise what is going on.
This clip was stellar.
And think about it.
There is thunder on the left of me, so better close.
