Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Colbert Recap
Did you see The Colbert Report? I have to say, if the nomination was given to the most self-deprecatingly funny candidate who dropped out like a million months ago, John Edwards would totally have this thing sewn up after tonight. But the big gag of the night was Hillary Clinton coming out and fixing Stephen's big screen to show how good she is at fixing stuff, only to have Barack Obama later show up on that very screen and steal the show. Indecision 2008 put it this way:
There's got to be a metaphor there somewhere, but I can't figure it out.
Well, Indy, I think I can figure it out. What happened to Clinton was like rescuing an orphan from a burning building only to have that orphan grow up and kick you in the balls.
No, wait, that's not it.
It's like creating a pill that cures feline AIDS, but as a side-effect also turns the cats into orphans who grow up and kick you in the balls.
No no no. It's like… It's like rain on your wedding day. It's a free ride when you've already paid. It's the good advice that you just didn't take and grows up and kicks your orphans in the balls. Yeah, that's exactly what it's like.
Check back here in the morning for video of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards on The Colbert Report.
