McCain

I have one thing to say about McCain's speech... apparently none of his handlers have ever watched The Colbert Report. If they had, there is no way they would have had McCain speaking in front of a green screen (or a blue screen) again. Ever.

Let the games begin.

wow

Rush on the Colbert Report. Playing "Tom Sawyer." These guys can still tear it up.

The video is up now. Song starts at 5:26...

Colbert on Gore

The "Gore-gernaut"... Brilliant.

BHUs — "Bush Hate Units"... usually brought on by reading Frank Rich. Brilliant!

"www.bushcredits.com" — how soon will it be a parody site?

Dean on Colbert

Howard Dean was on the Colbert Report tonight, and he was great. I am always pleased that he is working to build a progressive movement, rather than having dripped away like some other former candidates. And when it came down to it tonight, he was just solid. It was one of those great moments when Colbert doesn't even bother to satirize what his guest is saying. Catch it if you can.

Tom Wolfe

Watching the Colbert Report, and Wolfe is on. He is, of course, dressed in the famous white suit and a contrasting striped shirt. The strange thing is the man is old--I mean, old--but he looks like a teenager. Either he has genes as immaculate as his suit or he is the living embodiment of Dorian Gray. The only telling sign is that he has a bit of a tremor. And he has the same hairstyle as Graydon Carter.
