Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, July 01, 2011

TV comedian Stephen Colbert was granted permission Thursday to not only form a political action committee but the privilege of promoting it on his show. The only restriction the Federal Election Commission laid out in its 5-1 ruling was that Colbert could not promote Colbert Super-PAC on any other shows on Comedy Central.

The GOP/SC has made it so that our campaign finance laws are a major joke, so this Courbet's coup is perfectly hilarious.

So in addition to Colbert's Ben & Jerry's flavor, will we also see "Courbet's sorbet?"

Ok, that was bad, but I an excited to see how this is going to play out.

Good for him. Loved all the Hitler, Marx, Mao and Satan worshiping by the quality indiviuals that showed up at him and Stewart's, "whatever" rally. What exactly was that for anyway? I don't think anyone had a clue by the looks of it.

Hey Northgay,
Gonna go with the blank slate again?

I think the purpose was to show that there still more sane people willing to celebrate reason than wackjobs willing to follow glen beck. You know - the people who believe that any non-wackjob is a marxist, satanist, etc.

If beck hadn't gone and rallied the retards, colbert/stewart wouldn't have reacted with their own rally.

Unending surprise that the system actually works - for SNOW-FLAKES and politicians alike - and visa-versa! Best of luck altho you should spend a 'little' time roughing out your comedy!

Oh, sorry, you ARE!

Classic case of monkey see monkey do. Too bad Beck and Co. couldn't feign a mass suicide.

Colbert is a wild and crazy guy.

So who is going to give money to?

Colbert is snarky, talentless and lame. Let him promote the lib cause all he wants. He should get Al Franken to help him out too.

To say colbert is talentless shows a complete lack of objectivity. You might not agree with him, but to say he's not talented is like saying shaq isn't tall.

The best part about him is that he uses satire. He uses intelligence to attack stupidity. I guess that means 'snarky' to you. It's hilarious that the dumbest of the redneck right don't even get the joke and think he's one of them.

Colbert writes very little of his own material, sparky.

Doesn't matter. You could read the same line and get crickets in response. Comedic timing and charisma isn't easy.

During the writers strike he DID write and perform the whole damn show 22 minutes a night for weeks so that his crew could still pay their bills. And it still held up. Again - his talent is obvious. So is your bitter resentment of someone who effectively roasts the right's ass every night.

???

WTF are you talking about? I don't even watch him (or any TV) and I didn't even comment on his talent or lack of it.

Get a grip, dude. Fuck

Someone said he's talentless.

I said he's talented.

You jumped in and said he doesn't write his own material, as if in support of previous a-hole's argument.

You don't want a treat, don't get in line. Dude. Fuck.

I said he doesn't write most of his material.

You said something about my "bitter resentfulness"

How you derived that I was "bitterly restentful" from "he doesn't write most of his material" is beyond me.

Fuck

What a douche.

Colbert writes very little of his own material, sparky.

What does this statement have to do with Colbert's talent?

You brought it up. What does writing have to do with his ability to deliver said writing in the manner he does?

You went fishing, you got a bite. Reel that fucker in.

What a douche.

Speaksoftly grossly overreacts to a statement I make and that makes me a douche?

You never did strike me as someone who thinks logically. You simply underscore that belief. I can't figure out if you are really that stupid or if you feel compelled to say something stupid since I am not of your political knit.

Of course that would be just as stupid, too. Either way, you just ain't very smart, are you?

What does this statement have to do with Colbert's talent?

Nothing that I know of. He may be a great pitcher or give great head or consistently makes a souffle that won't collapse. But his talents aren't realized on his show.

So exactly what are his talents that gets you and speaksoftly's panties all in a wad when I mentioned his writers?

You know how you're always accusing someone of putting you in a comfortable little cubby hole where they can deal with you? That's what you're doing to me with that question.

You're pretty good at getting a reaction out of these simple fuckers that can't see past their own nose, but I was asking you an honest question. As usual, getting an honest answer from you is like pulling teeth.

But his talents aren't realized on his show.

The people who pay him and watch him disagree with you. The guy holds up a fun house mirror to the likes of Fox News and it's funny.

Ain't capitalism fun? Oh and fuck goatman the humorless cunt.

He uses intelligence to attack stupidity.

No, he rolls out segments as if they're subtle that actually have all the subtlety of a 12 gauge slug to the gut. Stupid people think they're intelligent because they "get" it. Colbert was never as funny as Stewart, but because he makes people feel smug he's wildly more popular.

I mean I liked the Colbert Report for the first coupla months it was on, but then got tired of the one-dimensional nature of the schtick. I got the feeling guests were being coached to play along. The Daily Show stayed fresh for me a lot longer, but of late Stewart's been calling himself a comedian while talking exactly like any other pundit. The laugh track got obnoxious, so I stopped watching that many moons ago as well.

So since I don't watch Colbert (or any TV as far as that goes) I'm a humorless cunt? Odd associations you make.

I think you are a mindless cunt for being a slave to your master, the television and the slime it exudes, legio.

You will obey me as I lead you
Eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't run for help, no one will heed you.

Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

Slime from the Video

What laugh track? The show is filmed in front of a live audience.
