Steven Colbert

The establishment in Washington is now mad at Steven Colbert. Colbert was invited to speak at the annual dinner for White House correspondents. It seems that they think he was too hard on Georgie, who was also at the dinner.

This is all just too ridiculous. They act like Colbert ambushed Georgie. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I am a fan of the Colbert Report [the "t" is silent in both words] and I was watching the broadcast on C-Span [shows what a pathetic life I lead]. Colbert simply performed his schtick, just like he does on his show. In fact, many of the jokes he told had already been used on the Colbert Report. He was just performing his routine as he had been hired to do.

The organizers of this event knew the kind of schtick Colbert did before they ever hired him to speak. If they did not want Colbert's brand of humor, then why did they hire him? Colbert did nothing wrong. In fact, I thought he was great. If the organizers are unhappy, they have only themselves to blame.

Also, when did it become a rule that Georgie cannot be told the truth or ridiculed in person? Georgie is an adult. If he can't handle criticism, he should resign and go clear brush on his "ranch".
