Perhaps the right gets it more because - well, let's face it - they ooze idiocy.
A recent manufactured flap put up by right wing blowhards is centered around President Barack Obama not attending a Boy Scout Jamboree.
As Colbert points out, no president in the last 100 years has, but that doesn't stop teabaggin' truth tellin', now does it? Stephen Colbert responds with his usual wit and satirical style, lambasting conservative cuckoos.
The biggest laugh of the bit comes when he nails right wing propagandist Laura Ingraham. The master at exposing right wind idiocy nails it again, calling Ingraham "Ichabod Crane's banshee widow."
Naturally, the crowd roars, as Colbert has a picture of Ingraham up for reference. See the video here. I mean, just look at her picture and try to tell me calling Laura Ingraham Ichabod Crane's banshee widow isn't damn funny.
It was just couple of months ago Colbert nailed Sarah Palin with an equally impressive "satire" name. Palin was on record complaining about White House COS Rahm Immanuel using the "R" word, but defending Rush Limbaugh for using the same word.
Colbert says he is defending Palin when he says "Sarah Palin is a fucking retard!"
It's a great bit too, see it here.
What Stephen Colbert and John Stewart bring to us through Comedy Central may well be some of the best political commentary out there.

Post a CommentI don't have cable, so I never would've known about this if you hadn't posted it! Thank you! LOVE Colbert. Comedy is often more relevant and reliable than the "news".
Thank you for the links! We're taking a reprieve from cable tv for the summer and I don't see the show anymore.
I've heard that people trust it more than the network news, too.
Jon Stewart & Colbert are the smarty honor students and fox news is the dunce.
Love those videos and love Colbert. He tells it like it is, ie: how stupid much of the Republican Party is.
Recently I heard Stewart saying what a commentary on the state of the media it was that people turn to him and Colbert for their news instead of the actual new.
Laura Ingraham? Never heard of her... never watched "The Daily Show" (nor "Faux News")... don't have a tattoo or a cell phone, stuck in the 19th century, operating my computer by candlelight.
It's hard to really insult Sarah Palin, as she just doesn't get it.
Cool. A literary insult. Of course, all the right wing nuts are icky.
seconded only by your witty tirades Jeff. ah, showbiz!
