irreverent men make me hot

I finally got around to reading Stephen Colbert's transcript from the White House Press Corps Dinner. Yeah, I'm a reader of the liberal news media primarily, but I was genuinely surprised to hear any criticism of his speech. A co-worker of mine told me she had to shut it off because she thought Colbert was humiliating himself. I've heard some claim that he went too far. How ironic that a comedian whose job it is to make fun of society is called inappropriate. You know what I think is inappropriate? The ongoing below-the-radar conflict in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, oil companies making record profits while gas prices continue to rise, Darfur, illegally wiretapping American citizens, pathetic excuses for environmental and energy policies, Guantanamo, the health care crisis in America, our ever-shrinking civil liberties, unemployment rates in Michigan, the federal government's stellar handling of Hurricane Katrina, immoral tax policies, a media that is essentially the lapdog of the administration...

Actually, inappropriate is the wrong word.

Criminal is closer to the truth.
