Colbert Unleashes Political Storm

Cold Flute had its single busiest 24 hours because of Colbert's now famous comedy routine on Bush and the Washington press corps. I don't have much to add but I noticed that Tennessee Guerilla Woman has an excellent roundup of various Colbert posts on the blogs. They're all well worth reading:

The media is now paying some attention to Colbert's devastating critique of the Angry Decider and the Cowardly Media. Yesterday, the Times had a story about how the media, and especially the 'liberal' Times, ignored the Colbert critique.

Five days after Colbert spoke truth to power, the story continues to occupy the number one and number two position at Technorati. Below is a smattering of the accolades and one or two of the whines.

With the possible prospect of war with Iran on the horizon, I find myself impatient with Washington. When it comes to Bush, it's time for the media and the comics to take off the kid gloves. We need more Colberts and even more Bill Moyers. Our children and their children deserve a future.
