Todd said...: Graham says, referring to Colbert, Sir,” but try to do so in a manner that’s more becoming of someone of your immense talent.

Asserting facts not in evidence. I have yet to witness anything from Colbert that indicates the existence of talent. I may have a high bar though. I expect comics to be funny and late night show hosts to be entertaining. Others have different standards.; 5/2/17, 3:44 PM
n.n said...: There was a joke in a similar vein on I believe "60 Minutes". One of the JournoLists advised Bloomberg that he would not get into heaven simply because he was a white male billionaire. He hesitated. I'm sure that he wanted to say white male billionaire Jew.

Comanche Voter said...: Salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs? There is a certain canine quality in the writers for the "comedians". As for Colbert; who realizes (a) that's he's not personally very funny; and (b) relies on a comedy writing "crew" that itself is not very funny---why in keeping with the intellectual level of that bunch of no talent schlunks, I'd say they are all in deep ca ca.; 5/2/17, 3:46 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Eh. Colbert is still butthurt because he made fun of Trump incessantly in the run up to the election, said flat out that Trump had no chance of winning - and then Trump won.

It's almost as if the American public doesn't seek Colbert's guidance when it comes to voting.; 5/2/17, 3:48 PM

He did some pretty good cameo work on Elmo's World, like when he ("The Letter Z") and Nicole Sullivan ("The Latter A") asked passersby at a shopping center to name words that started with their respective letters. Colbert got increasingly peeved as all his respondents could find was "zebra" and "zylophone" while the Letter A ran up the score.

Plus his Mr. Goodwrench spots.; 5/2/17, 3:54 PM
Chuck said...: So I am curious; what should happen to Stephen Colbert now?

Should we ban him from speaking anywhere, like the liberals have tried to do to Ann Coulter, Charles Murray and Heather Mac Donald? Should we organize an advertiser boycott, to convince CBS to fire him? Should we organize riots in public places in the ways that BAMN and Occupy! and Black Bloc have?

Colbert is a comedian. I think that there is something about the 11:30 ET comedy shows, that many Americans regard as a sort of public utility, right? Thinking that there is a kind of "fairness doctrine" that governs their speech. Right?

Don't get me wrong; people are free to complain about Colbert. Boycott his advertisers. Organize secondary boycotts (as much as I oppose them, myself, for reasons that Professor Bradley Smith has argued so admirably). And by all means, point out the hypocrisy in Colbert's using homosexual/ridicule imagery to his advantage... when he'd never allow a conservative to get away with something similar.

Do all of that. Combat disagreeable and offensive speech, with more speech.

But what else does anybody propose?; 5/2/17, 3:55 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: When the Right makes even the slightest perceived racial or gay or sexist slur, they are fired.

And I'd love to spend my days pointing out and laughing at the hypocrisy on the left.; 5/2/17, 4:12 PM

And just for extra measure unbundel cable. I don't want to pay for See BS. And they should be paying a fee to benefit for a monopoly use of a frequency.

Colbert's comedy doesn't work when gets overly crude and macho like this, because you look at the guy and kind of figure that if he said that in person, Trump might very well make Colbert HIS c***holster.

Sorta like Trudeau trying to label George H. W. Bush a wimp. Doesn't stick to a guy that flew torpedo bombers in WWII.

It just has to be vile and insulting. Broadcast standards are relaxed to permit passage of such jokes, but only if they are directed at Trump......This is voodoo comedy. The efficacy of a voodoo curse is dependent upon the hatred and vitriol with which the witch doctor casts the spell. Voodoo comedy doesn't depend upon humor but rather on hatred. The audience enjoys not the humor but the hatred. Hatred is the whole point of it......Comedians will soon have a lower reputation than reporters, and reporters currently have a lower reputation than politicians.; 5/2/17, 4:48 PM

Does that make you happy or frustrated?

The comments generally give me the impression that there are a few cockamamie ideas (unbundle your cable package, meanwhile CBS is a broadcast network; and pass punitive taxes on the broadcast networks, presumably for unsatisfactory content) and the rest of them being, "Do nothing, mostly."

I did not expect anyone to threaten any Colbert-riots. I did expect some people to advocate for CBS advertiser boycotts, and we'll see how that goes. Well beyond the Althouse blog, of course.

I am not disappointed, or delighted, or surprised, or anything else.

What spurred my further interest late this afternoon, was seeing the Drudge/Trump propaganda machine pivot on the issue. Early this morning, Drudge was in his full-Hannity "blame the GOPe leadership in Congress" for the big bloated spending bill that was largely negotiated under Obama (and with the expectation of a Hillary win).

But then, as Democrats and their media friends spiked their collective footballs, Trump went nuts and started Tweeting about a government shutdown in September. Time then, to dial back the "blame Republicans" bit for a bill that Trump would be soon signing.

Time, then, to move on to the Stephen Colbert Hate Outrage headline. I presume that this post from Althouse was ripped from the banner-page of the Drudge Report.; 5/2/17, 6:13 PM

Bob Loblaw said...: I have yet to witness anything from Colbert that indicates the existence of talent. I may have a high bar though. I expect comics to be funny and late night show hosts to be entertaining. Others have different standards.

It's "clappy" humor. That is to say, it's not actually funny, but people will cheer if they agree with the politics. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report cultivated that kind of audience. Neither of those guys is funny, and for all the attention they received they never had an audience beyond smug coastal leftists and dorm room Marxists.; 5/2/17, 6:18 PM
Chuck said...: I think everybody -- most particularly Althouse as her own editor-in-chief -- is missing the real late-night comedy scandal.

Althouse took her lead from Drudge, and went straight to Colbert.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel did his own terrifically unfunny, unfactual, whining, misleading story about who his child almost died from a cardiac ailment requiring emergency surgery.

Nobody else will use this sort of shorthand, but the policy implications of the story were complete horseshit. (The human-interest part was of course genuine, and intended to dominate everything else, and it seems to have worked to perfection. Those Hollywood guys know how to do messaging.)

Obama then joined in with a Tweet supporting Kimmel and the opposition to changing Obamacare.

Althouse, if you want to do a post on how badly Jimmy Kimmel mangled healthcare policy, I think that would be a lot more substantive.; 5/2/17, 6:19 PM

Correction: It's the apex of partisanship. Few conservatives care that someone made a gay slur or offended Trump. They only care because it was said by Colbert. I'll grant you if Ann Coulter or Rush said the same line about Obama then the left would be going nuts. But, again, no one cares in general until they see WHO said it and who they said it about. Then things get interesting and somewhat stupid. And then pitchforks....; 5/2/17, 7:18 PM

Interesting that you compare Colbert to Coulter and Limbaugh, Matt. Coulter has been banned from NRO for saying nasty things about conservatives.

Feel free to follow the left's lead and ban everything you hate. That is part of my point. The right [correctly] is angry at the left for being so sensitive and politically correct and wanting safe spaces and all that. But when it comes time to prove the right is more adult about such matters they call for boycotts and are just as unreasonable as the left. [Although, conservatives haven't rioted yet over a speech so kudos for that. It's likely because conservatives tend to be older and past the protest / riot phase while the left tend to be younger... different topic.]; 5/2/17, 7:40 PM

Thorley Winston said...: The fundamental problem is that the Left has been allowed to pick and choose which rules of civil society they wish to discard or keep based on what serves their whims of the moment. They get to break the rules that they find inconvenient and expect the rest of us to continue to respect the ones which protect them. They keep doing this because they know that conservatives don’t want to escalate things any further. If you want it to stop, then we need to stop trying to match whatever the Left does when they decide to change the rules.

If you want to get Stephen Colbert to change his behavior, then show the clip to his two sons who he won’t allow to watch his show. Do it when they’re out in public at a park or in a store by flashing a clip of dad talking about c***k holsters and whatever other vulgarities he spews for a living. Let them see firsthand what kind of a person their father is and how he acts when they’re not around. Maybe he’ll come to realize that when you act this way, the rest of the world is under no obligation to respect your self-serving wish to compartmentalize it so that you don’t have to suffer the consequences. Or it may even force him and his wife to have explain to their children why they should never act like their father. Either way, it will hurt him on a deep and personal level and send a message to the rest of his fellow travelers that the old rules where they’re the ones who get decide when and whether to change the rules no longer apply and they might just think twice about it.; 5/2/17, 8:35 PM

richardsson said...: The one and only time I've seen Colbert was when he was "testifying" before a Congressional committee. I've never had HBO and my reaction was WTF. I guess he was the perfect replacement for Letterman, who I understood perfectly. Letterman was an angry man using alleged humor to relieve his pain. Nice work if you can get away with it. As for taking Colbert off the air, I say No...No. Let him dig his grave and CBS's grave one mouthful at a time. Since I hardly watch television anymore, I'm not bothered by what's on anymore.; 5/2/17, 9:38 PM

Speak for yourself. Not escalating in response is the problem. Unleash the dogs.; 5/2/17, 10:05 PM

I've said this before, but faithful active Catholics almost never refer to themselves as "devout."; 5/2/17, 11:08 PM
