TCR: Obama Packing Around Europe
Stephen Colbert remains one of the funniest men on TV. He lampoons John McCain in his own particular, peculiar way.
This is funny. Enjoy!
Former Bush Press Secretary Tony Snow Dies
I was not, and still am not, a Tony Snow fan, BUT no one should die of cancer. Tony Snow, former Bush press secretary, died at age 53. Here is Snow when he was truly enjoyable. He was on the Colbert Report earlier this year.
Colbert crossword puzzle
Stephen Colbert is on the cutting edge of comedy. You have to be thinking when you are watching his show. Well, he has gotten an award that very few comedians get, a word in the New York Times crossword puzzle - Truthiness.
TCR - Word, sort of
Stephen Colbert explains why he has always been anti-union.
TCR - Mitt wins Michigan
Stephen Colbert has a little fun with Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. Then again, they are such fun loving kinda guys, who wouldn’t have fun with them?
Republicans troll for hate
Bill O’Reilly has been on tear about the Daily Kos for about 2 months straight. He has equated them with Nazis and the Klu Klux Klan. He points to the “hate” speech that he says can be found there. Here’s the problem, the Daily Kos is an open forum blog. Anyone can post in the dairies and anyone can post a comment. Although the Daily Kos has several monitors they can’t and shouldn’t catch everything. Billo hates that.
The fact of the matter is that Bill O’Reilly’s own web site has hate speech, beside the stuff that he is regurgitating. The FBI has reportedly launched a probe into some of the hate speech on his web site.
The Carpetbagger has found a Republican politician Tim Hugo who has launched an attack ad based on the hate speech that was found in the comment section of Rex Simmon’s blog.
Last month on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert and Daily Kos founder, Markos Moulitsas revealed to the nation how hate speech can easily get on a blog. Funny interview. Enjoy.
TCR - Re-runs
All we have to do to get the unity that Lieberman had talked about it to wind the clock back to September 12, 2001. Then we can re-believe that the President knows what he is doing. We can re-believe that Iraq has WMD and an Iraqi official met with Al Qaeda in Prague.
TDS - Vitter
There is so much to say about this. Vitter came to office blowing all of that family values stuff. Personally, if you have to tell someone that you are for family values then you probably aren’t for family values.
Poor Senator David Vitter’s phone number has turned up on the DC Madam’s phone log. This can’t be a good thing for the family values Senator. More allegations about Vitter stepping out in Louisiana have been circling. So, Vitter and his wife, who said that she was more like Bobbitt than Hillary, held a press conference the other day. He said that God and his wife forgave him. She asked that the press some hounding her.
Now, in the South, and Louisiana is the south, when woman has to do something relatively formal, the pearls come out. Doing something formal with an adulterous husband requires some thought. One would figure that she would pick out something very conservative. No neck line. Nothing that reveals any hint of a figure but NOOOO, Ms. Vitter wears some clingy, plunging neck like thing. She is wearing something would cause a stir at one of those high brow country clubs. I’m sure that her choice reveals something about her and their marriage but I’m not going there.
Since both the Daily Show and the Colbert Report tackled the Vitter thang, I thought I would combine them into one video. Enjoy.
TCR - Word - Matthew McCo-how to you spell that
Stephen Colbert takes a look at People Magazine and their sexist man alive, Matthew McConaughey. I thought that Stephen would complain that he wasn’t chosen (one of the reasons why I don’t write comedy). Instead, he talks about how men live thru Matthew.
TCR - Heated Debate
OMG, students are being forced to learn stuff they don’t already know. The horrors. Will they ever stop. (I hope not.)
TCR - Level Playing Field
Colbert’s segment The Word is always a lesson in illogic and nonsequitur. This is no different.
TCR - The word - Better Safe than Sorry
It seems that Stephen Colbert has taken issue with the ACLU and some democrats who believe that it is wrong to adduct someone and torture them if they are innocent. This is really funny. How can these be funny? You just have to watch the video.
TCR - Word - Season Pass
The Colbert Report continues to be funny, intelligent and cutting edge. The Word is about making the War in Iraq a reality TV show. This is funny.
TCR - da Word
Politics with the US Attorneys, Colbert tells us why not to worry.
TCR - Home Field Advantage
With so many people giving money, time and effort over seas (Bill and Melinda Gates, Oprah), Stephen Colbert points out that Charity should begin at home. (Give me money!)
TCR - Silence
You know, I’m usually surprised and amazed at Colbert. How is he going to make fun of a situation and still make his point. Well, he has done it again. He starts on the Senate’s inability to talk about passing a non-binding resolution.
“We all know that talking is a gateway to thinking.”
“Even John Warner, who introduced the bill, voted against debating it.”
and the best in my opinion
“We went to Iraq to bring Democracy to the Middle East and it looks like the only way that we can bring Democracy there is to silence it here.”

TCR - Worry
I just wonder how it is going to go later on in the week when Colbert and O’Reilly are guests on each others shows.
TCR - Texas Hold ‘Em
Stephen Colbert is on a roll.
