[Leaning Right]

Colbert has only one routine: playing the role of a silly conservative. He can occasionally be quite funny in that role, but that's all he's got.

Even when Colbert is trying to be “serious”, that persona slips through. He's got nothing more, just that one routine. He's a classic example of a one-trick pony.

Colbert’s conservative stepin fetchit character is funny like making fun of crippled vets is funny. He’s a true American treasure.
