TDS & CR: Guys use the new thread already.

It only gets worse.

Good luck with that, bucko. Also: way to reach for the stars.

With a face like that, the pole is destined to get a Dreamworks adaptation.

Is there anything worth seeing in the interview with that dickbag McLeroy?

After the first video clip, I just had to turn it off in disgust. It's like High Definition Poe's Law. It's exactly the kind of shit Colbert would say to sound ridiculous and this guy is saying it dead seriously.

What's worse is that the guy is a cagey moron, if that makes sense. He states some things but holds others to his vest so as to not appear totally buffoonish and like he's holding the future of American education's feet to the idiot fire.

the mentality that humans are far too complex to come about on their own makes some sense, but really humans come from one single cell so I don't think it is as far-fetched as they claim.

Geez, first Sendak and now Julie Andrews - these children's books segments are hitting it out of the park.

No, I'm pretty sure that is a man you want to entertain you. There's supposed to be a difference.

I assure you that I meant the word "lead"

Wasn't one of the reasons bush was so "electable" was that he was someone you could have a beer with? So that's a legitimate reason to lead people, but not being entertaining...

Jon Stewart 2012.

Indeed.

Jon Stewart 2012: "You shouldn't drink with people who are alcoholics."

And Neil deGrasse Tyson even more of a balla.

Holy merciful shit! I love dinosaurs, and I love things that glow in the dark, and we're releasing a glow in the dark dinosaur quarter?!?!

Supposedly it went on sale a week ago and they're being shipped at the end of May? Man, I have some postal outlets to harass tomorrow.

... it also costs $30, but that may or may not stop me.

I would invest all of my money in dinosaur coins.

Also, if you haven't read it, Colbert's speech to the Time 100 is phenomenal. He trolls so hard.

I was particularly excited to meet David Koch earlier tonight because I have a Super PAC, Colbert Super PAC, and I am -- thank you, thank you -- and I am happy to announce Mr. Koch has pledged $5 million to my Super PAC. And the great thing is, thanks to federal election law, there's no way for you to ever know whether that's a joke.

That whole section was glorious, but I busted at this line.

It was splendiferous.

They are amazing. Both Sendak and Andrews play perfectly of him.

I lost it at:

Also, Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke is here tonight. Also an instant, instant feminist icon. Famously tested, testified before Congress, that Georgetown, a Catholic institution,should be required to provide insurance coverage for her birth control.

Now, TIME 100 honoree, his eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan disagrees -- sir, lovely to see you again.

Of course, now some, some critics have said in response to this that if the Catholic church's insurance does not cover Sandra Fluke's birth control, it shouldn't cover Cardinal Dolan's Viagra.

Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, no, that's called celibacy plus. That's how the pros do it. Because chastity is one thing, but it shows true commitment to uphold your vows when you are sporting a crook you could hang a miter on.

Vyolynce

The part later on where he called the Cardinal "a feminist icon" might have been better. That whole read was glorious.

I'm reading this now and it's amazing. I wonder if there's any chance we'll ever see a taping of it.

EDIT: Just got the Koch part...holy shit Colbert fears no one. He is being fucking brutal :lol:

Catching up on TDS

Did... did Jon Stewart just say "shazbot"?

hadoken

My god, I'd kill for a video of Colbert's speech.

Vyolynce

Oh man... that Moment of Zen. Classic Biden.

Watching that interview, John really seems obsessed sometimes with not thinking badly of the horrible people in the Republican party.

It's the thing that's keeping him from going on a killing slapping spree, I think. That the people he disagrees with aren't evil.

He's only been saying directly this for like four years.

This is one of the reasons I like him so much. He manages to absolutely tear down the opposition's actions, without demeaning the opposition. Usually.

AManFromEarth

What's that? People with ideological differences who are wrong, misguided, or just selfish aren't evil? Well I never.

Mild Confusion

Lies. If you disagree with me, you are Stalin Hitler Pol Pot. Your disagreement with this statement simply proves it as fact.

enlightenedbum

That fails to distinguish between heartless Zombie Eyed Granny Starvers (TM Charlie Pierce) and say... Dick Lugar.

John seems to not even want to label them as selfish or assholish.

And considering the bills on women's rights flying through US governing bodies these days, I don't see how evil is at all controversial.

Paladin

I think he's softballing them because lately he's been getting less interview traffic, like when he had to run that two part John Oliver segment all at once

Tox

NdGT for president of Earth.

Gosling

I don't think any of Colbert's guests has so utterly turned the tables on him quite like Diane Keaton has.

TheBlackWind

It looked like she was trying to out-Colbert Stephen and it was phenomenal.

AbsoluteZero

I don't even know who Diane Keaton is nor do I give a flip about her book, but that interview was hilarious.
