>>250666 I'm going to have to disagree with that as someone who has no party affiliation, and thinks they both completely suck, because every time they have a democrat or liberal on he basically smiles the whole interview, calls them brilliant/hilarious, and spends the whole segment basically holding their hand while sucking their dick, while meanwhile if he has a republican, or some conservative on, he just poo-poos whatever their book, idea, or views are, and spends the whole segment ambushing them, and trying his best not to let them get a word in.
Like a while back he had this old fundamentalist on with a book about the recession of morality and decency in America or some crap, and he basically spent the whole segment mocking his idea, and saying "Oh, and when did we have decency exactly? When black people couldn't vote, or women women couldn't vote?" and the other day he had some other author on with what I guess was a pro-Iraq war book, and he just sort of ambushed the guy on how the war is an all around bad thing, and in a roundabout way said it's the worst most immoral war in American history.
The guy's funny when he's reading off of cue cards, but you're fooling yourself if you think he's doing anything besides using the show as a platform to praise his political party, while shitting all over the views of the other, much to the cheers of his audience.
At least when Colbert does it, he does it with biting satire, to the point that no one in his audience knows when to laugh, or whether or not he's serious. And their confusion makes the show all the more great.
