Interesting enough of an idea that its the wrong white guys we've been fearing... exccept that Stewert doesn't have any political ideology to spread short of this administration sucks balls. Seriously, if you pay attention its not like he's a particular fan of the democrats either, and his frustration and resignation at the democratic party--- his show doesn't quite know what to make of the democratic party and their inability to get it together long enough to send any kind of message whatsoever.

Stewert is a comedian not a politic....people keep trying to make him into something he's not just because he's sharp enough to state what;s actually going on in america today..and because he dares to voice an anti bush opinion and all that--- but really his opinions and editorials are just good common sense---you know its kind of hard to find fault when he says to one of his guests, well why doesn;t the administration just come out and say such and such. its an anger with the failings of our current government but i wouldn't say he has the political savvy to try and go for anything else. he;s not nearly as bombastic or as strict a follower of a certain ideology as Rush or Hannity or O Reilley or any of those guys. Stewert has no trouble pointing out stupidities and idiocy in his own political party unlike those guys blindly following thier party because loyalty is demanded. pshhh give me a break.

Colbert on the other hand could very well get into politics by using the exact same technique he employs on his show...and he would win too! now if he is another rich white man...he is very much just following in the shadows and riding the wave of The Daily Show...and good for him as a firm believer in capatalism and America (as he says almost nightly) for being able to do that so successfully. he got rich through hard work and years of honing an act...yes you could argue that politicians get to their positions through years of hard work and years of honing an act as well...but again he;s a comedian--he's there to make you laugh..if he happens to make you think to well that's not such a bad thing.

But you see unlike the men currently in charge--they can take a step back and publically say when a bit or a joke or a segment of theirs didn't work and can actually apologize for it, their self-mocking enough that i think we can believe 'em when they say something and not think their a hypocrate just because their now very rich and can afford to make jokes about anything at others' expense....because you know what? they were both once poor struggling comedians and i'm sure they both have known what it is to eke out a low waged living, so i don't think we have anything to fear from them except the possibility of success making them less funny or less sharp.
