I hope that's going in your kids' college funds.

And in fairness, all Rhythmic did was say he didn't think Colbert was funny. Not nearly as offensive as claiming that Craig Kilborn was a comic genius. Them's fightin' words.

All I said was that he was funnier than Jon Stewart- that certainly doesn't have to make him a comic genius.

I don't think the Daily Show took itself as seriously back then, but to be fair, that probably isn't all Stewart's fault either.

I'm still backing a Cthulhu/Nyalathotep ticket for '08. Although I guess it's all over but the crying anyway: Chuck Norris has chosen a candidate. As another writer put it:

As anyone who has ever watched Delta Force knows, with Chuck Norris on board, Huckabee will now be unstoppable. And by unstoppable, we mean they face the wrath of a man who is rumored to have played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won and who reportedly grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his own rage.

Yeah… good luck against that, Hillary.

For what it's worth ...

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that Colbert is preferred by 13% of voters as an independent candidate challenging Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani. The survey was conducted shortly after Colbert’s surprise announcement that he is lusting for the Oval Office.

The result is similar when Fred Thompson is the Republican in the three-way race. With Thompson as the GOP candidate, Colbert earns 12% of the vote.

Frankly, that's frightening, Lemur. I can only hope that people were taking a piss when they responded to the pollster. Wonder how Peter Griffin would stack up?
