Colbert vs O'Reilly

[Strangler Lewis]

I saw O'Reilly on Colbert. Having now seen both, it clearly was no contest. The sad thing is that there were probably millions of O'Reilly viewers slapping their knees going "Ha, he's a Frenchie." I was puzzled by the commentators who dismissed Stewart and Colbert as cynically criticizing and making fun of others. O'Reilly does the same thing, except without the fun. That said, O'Reilly is hardly the worst thing out there.

All that coughing, you sure you don't mean Rita Cosby?

I have no idea if she has anything worthwhile to say because I've never managed to stand listening to her voice long enough to find out. Hearing her makes me want to quit smoking, and I don't even smoke!

I can't hate Rita Crosby. I just end up wondering what horrible thing she did as a child that resulted in her parents having her vocal chords scraped.

I believe that. My family is largely conservative. My middle brother once tried to convince me that Colbert may be doing a double fake, and is actually a conservative at heart. That's some serious wishful thinking there. People always see what they want to see.
