Bascially, we got stuck with the candidate for whom the majority of the people in this country voted, and rudely pointing out how stupid you think he is won't sway any red states in the next election. I just hope the Dems get their act together by then. With an unpopular war, a sluggish economy, and the various pitfalls of the past 4 years (Katrina, illegal wiretapping, torture in Iraq, etc...) the job's almost done for them.eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435132755332951836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15092297.post-1147107824067531382006-05-08T13:03:00.000-04:002006-05-08T13:03:00.000-04:00I agree with repack rider.

The best part about his speech was when he called out the media for not having done that.<BR/><BR/>I was wondering the same thing as Brigita: who booked him? I guess whomever it was thought he might not have the nerve to say what did in front of the president.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501803841404865563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15092297.post-1147099480592603772006-05-08T10:44:00.000-04:002006-05-08T10:44:00.000-04:00I agree that the President of the United States is...I agree that the President of the United States is inherently deserving of respect, but hasn't Dubya put that respect somewhat in forfeit during his two-time tenure? <BR/><BR/>I'm wondering who was responsible for booking Colbert in the first place and if they woke up the next morning sans employment.brigitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022299673061673801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15092297.post-1147097639104593072006-05-08T10:13:00.000-04:002006-05-08T10:13:00.000-04:00I agree.

There's a fine line between respectful chiding and open mocking, and apparently he stepped over it.<BR/><BR/>The blogiverse is awash with stories of people saying how great it was, but the lack of respect for the institution of the Presidency, regardless of who is currently in the Oval Office, is disturbing.Jinxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004967151492192589noreply@blogger.com
