Can you imagine a liberal comedian demeaning the appearance of a physically handicapped, Pulitzer Prize-winning, liberal syndicated columnist? On Thursday, Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert called Charles Krauthammer "Count Chocula" (video follows with commentary): (Snip) And was the comedian aware that Krauthammer became a paraplegic as a result of a car accident while he was attending Harvard Medical School? If Colbert knew this, would he still ridicule Krauthammer's appearance? Assuming the answer is "Yes," now imagine Krauthammer was a liberal paraplegic who won the Pulitzer Prize.

i was having lunch in a Greek restaurant here, years ago when I noticed an unusual looking man, very well dressed but in a wheelchair, a few tables over, dining alone. I remember wondering what nationality he was, because he just looked, well, different, like a character from one of the more recent iterations of Star Trek. He noticed me looking and became visibly uncomfortable, so I nodded, smiled briefly and looked away. It was Charles Krauthammer, I later learned.

Typical liberal attitude.
