'Huffbert Nation': HuffPost's Answer To 'The Colbuffington Re-Post'

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 02/18/11 12:43 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:35 PM ET

Those of you who tuned into "The Colbert Report" the past two nights (or watched the clip on HuffPost) must have seen Stephen Colbert's version of our website, The Colbuffington Re-Post, which he is attempting to sell for $316 million.

We were flattered that Colbert thought enough of HuffPost to put his name on it, so today we came up with our own version of Colbert's beloved ColbertNation.com.

Introducing: Huffbert Nation!

Check out the site (it's live) for all your favorite Colbert news, video and community with a HuffPost twist.

But his joke was good, because you guys were already doing this on the Stephen Colbert homepage. This seems like you don't get the joke. Do you get the joke?

Like everything you do, a derivative ripoff.

lol, great response. Nice graphic, too. I'm looking forward to his response to it. This'll be an interesting battle. Don't back down, because this is funny. :)

I wondered why it was taking HuffPost so long to report on this. Looks like they only enjoy attack-style journalism when it's directed at others. Is this what we can expect now that they're more focused on money with the AOL merger - selective/delayed/omitted reporting on issues that might affect them? I think this little joke is very revealing in that sense.

And I say this as someone who has loved and read HP for years, and fully supports its politics.

This is what you're whining about today? That they didn't report fast enough on a comedic twisat to their website?

Go outside. It's a nice day today.

You do understand that this is all one big joke right?!? If not, I have some ocean front property in Nevada I'd like to sell you...

It is starting to be like one of those fun house mirrors wear you keep seeing the reflection of yourself going off into infinity - or like Colbert's portrait above his fireplace.

But both the real and parody sites are under the Comedy Central umbrella.

This is silly. Colbert's point was you already repackaged his videos on this site under a special page. Doing it again makes no sense.
