Stephen Colbert channels David Brent

John Griffiths calls from the M4. "What did you think of Colbert's speech?". I admit to not having watched it.

He directs me to Russell's post about presentations, "click on the second link and it takes you to a site that has it".

At the site, a blog called presentation zen, I find the post on Colbert but you know, I've been down this road before. Instead I click on the comments and find this gem:

Um, Garr? You don't expect to spur some kind of objective discussion on humor and satire, do you?

I don't think anyone here (including me) can speak to this subject without their political bias interfering. So what you will get is two groups of comments by two groups of commenters: Moonbats & Rethuglicans.

Being solidly in the latter camp, I just gotta say it: "Truthiness to power"? Please. Tell Colbert to speak similarly to Chavez or Zarqawi, and I'll salute his big, brass testicles. Going far beyond roasting to trashing the president at the Correspondents' Dinner requires nothing more profound than a lack of manners.

Thanks John.
