Colbert Tidbit

An interesting guest on Colbert had me going again where I start to truly believe that Stephen is, in fact, a conservative. Sometimes his character is just so real, but that's the whole draw. He so strictly "promotes" all the outrageous ideas of many Republicans or right wingers, and we think it is comedic. It's that ridiculous that anyone would advocate or encourage these ideas, enough to the point that it is a comedy show. I love this, this is where I get my real news anymore. Because can you really call this biased? I'd call it objective.

Anyway, the guest, Laura Ingraham, is a popular conservative talk show host on FOX. Maybe I'm a little slow on this one, but she has written a book called "The Obama Diaries" which is a New York Times bestseller in- nonfiction?? So apparently this woman, an extreme conservative who does not want her work to be considered fiction, wants readers to believe she has found several personal entries from Obama and others in the White House. Creative, yes. But is it fiction? Yes. I agree with her on one thing: that Obama was a man who knew how to brand himself. But the book is a waste of time, and not one I'd read because it is I'm sure borderline ridiculous and just there to make other conservatives feel better about the way they feel. In my opinion, the "Bush Diaries" would have been a lot more horrifying.

At the end of the interview, the classy Ingraham tells the world how Biden wanted to kiss her because he said to her "You're my favorite of those Right-wing types", and clearly that means he wanted to throw her down right there. Successful she may be, but she's also a reminder of why I am still a democrat until further notice. :)
