Stewart's exactly right. Colbert did exactly what he does on his show. Only in that crowd, it went over like, uhh, the Hindenberg.
I blame the people that invited him more than I do Colbert. They either should have known, or they did know, what they were getting.

Kinda like the idiots who invited Rosanne to sing the National Anthem. Really dumb idea.

Couldn't have been any worse, or better, depending on your point of view, than the year Imus showed up and absolutely ripped the Clintons.

That was one quiet room and he wasn't entertaining.
His part about being chased by Helen Thomas fell flatter than an Air America employee on pay day.

Colbert's act flopped without a straight guy and props.
But the real problem was he followed President Bush. That was funny!!!

I haven't been this pleased about a bombing since Doolittle did Tokyo.

..am I the only one that thought he was funny? Nope. I thought he did alright. Especially the video bit with Helen Thomas. Of course the jokes were meant to rub the administration... they always do. The whole point of the evening is that the President gets to rub back, too. But it's always been a "roast" type event.

..am I the only one that thought he was funny? I didn't think it was too bad, mainly because I didn't see it.
I saw Bush's thing on the internet. It was very funny.

I am just curious, wtf did the White House THINK was going to happen? It made as much sense as if they hired Olberman to be the press sec instead of the Snowman. Next time they should try this guy.

"Colbert's act flopped without a straight guy and props."
I think it had more to do with the type of jokes and the audience. He would get about the same response telling Jesus jokes in the vatican.

Jon Stewart is another example of comedians who believe because of what they do, they are instantly qualified to be serious political analysts.
Just like Franken and Garafalo.
