Re: Colbert 2012 Containment Thread

The Supreme Court has always had its critics. Chief Justice John Marshall had to contend with the temper of President Andrew Jackson (“John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!”). And Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes went toe-to-toe with FDR, who wouldn’t let up with the court-packing. But in the history of the Supreme Court, nothing has ever prepared the justices for the public opinion wrecking ball that is Stephen Colbert. The comedian/presidential candidate/super PAC founder has probably done more to undermine public confidence in the court’s 2010 Citizens United opinion than anyone, including the dissenters. In this contest, the high court is supremely outmatched.

Had a Colbert Marathon today and bumped into these classics:

Colbert vs OReilly - An epic and somewhat surreal throw down


Colbert roasts Bush in front of the world at the white house correspondents dinner. Game changing.

'The Colbert Report' abruptly cancels two show tapings, no date set for return

Sources inside 'The Colbert Report' tell FoxNews.com that the sudden suspension of Colbert's Comedy Central show is due to a family emergency.

That clip of Colbert at the WH Correspondents' Dinner is what got me to start watching his show.

Am I the only one who thinks Stewart is better than Colbert?

Colbert generally brings the lulz more imo. Steward is generally better at showing political hypocrisy.

Both are awesome in their own ways, but if I only have time to watch one or the other I'll go with Stewart. I also don't usually watch the interviews unless the guest is really interesting to me. Stewart/Colbert w/o interviews is my go to 25 minute entertainment block during a lunch break.

Colbert's interviews are overall more entertaining and steward's are more informative.

Re: Colbert 2012 Containment Thread

I prefer Stewart as well, but Colbert's superPAC stuff has been out of this world.

Re: Colbert 2012 Containment Thread

It's prob more due to the quality of guests they book, but I almost never watch a Colbert interview while I watch 60-70% of Steward's
