I find it hilarious to see how some people need to resort to quoting a comedian in order to gain some political perspective. I guess that's what happens when they find a "leader" who actually has a scrotum and a functional political compass.Fact: Steven Colbert has bigger balls than any ranking member of the Democratic Party. Kudos, Mr. Colbert. You are a man among algae.
Subsequent lesson learned: It takes no sack whatsoever to parrot his lines two weeks later. Sorry folks, sitting around on your hands and waiting for someone sprout some stones (which Colbert seemingly did), doesn't suddenly give you the authority to flex your muscles for the audience (once the "coast is clear"). Colbert proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the left-leaning leadership in this country is comprised of gun-shy, mealy-mouthed sheep. In that respect, he did the Republicans a huge favor. No longer is it merely speculation that this country's political left haven't a single backbone to share between them…they have to rely on TV personalities to speak candidly on their behalf.
UPDATE: Just as I was wrapping up this little post, Cranky over at Six Meat carved off a filet of his own. Although Cranky and I differ a tad on our opinions (Cranky feels that Colbert "bombed" at the WHCA dinner, and I feel that athough he was generally met with astonishment from the droves of dumbfounded dipshits in the audience, it really did take some massive huevos to pull that off), we both seem to be in lock-step on the sentiment that it seems as if Colbert has become the de-facto leader of the anti-Bush movement. His comments are great, check them out.
