Is it just me or is Steven Colbert the least funny, in fact not funny at all, comedy host. I wasn't able to laugh at any of his skits/lines/attempt at humor... nothing. How did he become so big? No clue!

Maybe you're a Republican, they never get it... it's a fact.

Colbert is funny. Not required that you think everyone is funny. No problem.

"Sarah Palin is going to drop the first puck at the Philadelphia Flyers hockey game. Then Palin will spend the rest of the game trying to keep the hockey players out of her daughter's penalty box."

Gee, why hasn't Mamma Palin been on TV demanding an apology from Conan?

It would have been funnier to say that the Obama's and the Palin's don't socialize ever since it became known that Obama's brother has been banned from the UK for assaulting a 13 year old girl. What, you never heard of that? That is the joke of the liberal MSM for you.

Colbert's week in Iraq was astounding... The clip of his time with the Thunderbirds was full of his character's mock bravado.

Following are two links in relation to Colbert’s trip to Iraq:

Other than his bad jokes, poor delivery, and abysmal timing, he's actually not that bad....

NOW takes a stand against Letterman. The noose tightens around Letterman ...

My wife absolutely loved that Top Ten! She's seen it at least 4 times since it was on. She was disturbed by one thing, though - that Sarah Palin is making such a stink about it. If she thought it was funny, then it's funny - and we have two daughters.

Stop taking silly things so seriously. He's a comedian, not someone who should be ashamed for doing his craft. He's also a father.

When organizations like NOW make a big deal out of this, they are doing it to their own detriment.

NOW should know better than to align itself with Palin, given her position on abortion.

For NOW to compare Letterman's joke about Spitzer to the comments made about Chelsea during the Clintons' time in the White House is a bit extreme - the punchline of Letterman's joke was clearly Spitzer, not the Palin daughter/s in question, unlike the case where Limbaugh was inexcusably and viciously mocking a thirteen year old child for her appearance. These are very, very different scenarios. Maybe Letterman did go too far, but let's not go over the top, please.
