I love the ending: "...and so the 'Indians' lived in harmony with the White Man and imigration was never a problem in America again."

ummm... say again?

Brilliant!

Actually, Kristol comes off as a smart guy with a sense of humour. Nice to know that not all neocons are deluded, greedy, lying schmucks. What we *really* need are people like Krystol to defend various plancks of their policy agenda openly and without ad hominems, claims to divine inspiration, or deliberate misrepresentations of the facts (by either side). Trouble is, regular TV seems now to have become the wrong medium for adult discussion. You should check out British TV. If this Colbert video 'blazes the trail' by asking questions the mainstream will not then we need very badly to relearn the art of fiercely honest, rational political discussion.

I visited Gainsbourg's grave in Paris a few years back. It had all the markings of a little shrine: someone had left some neat little snapshots among the candles. Someone else had left a cabbage with hiragana on it. Why knows why? There was a half-smoked cigarette lying as though left for Gainsbourg to finish. Amazing place. Watching this clip, made me wonder if the days of men like Serge Gainsbourg, Irving Layton, and Charles Bukowski will ever roll around again. :-)
