Ahh, it seems Colbert has yet again blazed a trail for the rank-and-file reporters to follow. Times being what they are, it seems the role of the satirist in society has become more important -- they are the ones most effective at shouting that the emperor is naked.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I think that Colbert's neocon schtick is unsettling to real neocons, because they know he's mocking them, but have to play along. That said, sometimes I get a bit tired of it - and I bet he does too. I miss him on the Daily Show. ) :

Colbert's neocon shtick doesn't unsettle me at all, fat guy who does nothing all day besides leaving comments on videosift.

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.
