# I hate Colbert, he's the least funny satirist there is
he can fuck right off.

# ?
get thee to www.hulu.com

# Hulu
doesn't work outside the US.

Well, it probably does if you mess around with proxy servers, but I am not a big enough geek to bet it working.

# that blows

I have not had a TV feed into my house in over 5 years now. I did it primarily for the kids, exposure to advertising and all that. The first few years were tough as I was hooked on The History Channel and Discovery Channel, but now I don't miss it at all. Anything I want to watch I can track down online.

www.thebox.bz is perfect for all my uk stuff and hulu works for the very few us shows I watch.

# Really?
You don't think he deserves respect for the White House Press Corps dinner thing at least?

# no matter what happens to America,
she will always rebound—with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world

yeah, I'll give him respect for that roasting, but mostly because of my hatred toward Bush.

# I think he is funnier
when he doesn't break character.

You are right however, Jon Stewart is aeons more entertaining.

# I can not even begin to understand this
I hope your comment really is satire I can't understand.

Jon Stewart is TV poison. The arguments his jokes hinge on are incrediblly specious and are made mostly because he has to write new jokes everyday. It's uncomfortable to watch him to survive the televised comedy hell he's made for himself.

Colbert is not much better but he's really good at the interviews and generally has the biggest balls on planet earth.

# opinions
but still, I watch a satirist for the humour, which Stewart and the daily show team have in spades.

Colbert is dreary and droll, to me..

again, opinions. Glad to differ with you.

# Just one of his many fine works.
Of which the famous "Gulliver's Travels" is one.

Without him and his ilk, there would be no Punch magazine. Then where would we all be?

Of course, you have to go a long way to beat Randy Newman's "Short People".
