Check this out. I was home on Thursday night with a couchful of friends and we just so happened to stop on Comedy Central. I swear, it was total fate — and would have been complete disaster to have missed this airing of Colbert. Just four days before the Pennsylvania Primary, and on Prime time television for Gen Y, Colbert got the line up other shows might be half as ambitious to even shoot for.
First, Clinton appears in lieu of Colbert’s technical problems. The ever-eager Senator would make a great addition to anyone’s team with this priceless enthusiasm.
Next, Edwards shows up to remind viewers everyoneis still after his vote. He hits on the point that media continues to pigeon demographics as having control of the final tally. This second, they’re saying it might be the “white male vote,” to which Colbert responds, “finally, white men will be heard!”
And finally, Obama shows up on the projector from somewhere in heartland America. He appears more rested than the lame primary the night before where both candidates made me yawn for different reasons. Colbert offers a strong opener about how happy HIllary must be pleased that she”fixed our projector screen.” (To which Obama plastered a whopping grin all over it.)
