Brent Bozell Shows Stephen Colbert How the Insufferable Blowhard Schtick Is Done
Listen, I love Stephen Colbert. I think he's amazing at what he does, and he gets even better as time goes by. But no one does the humorless right-wing windbag bit better than Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell. He has spent his entire life developing his bilious sourpuss character. Take for example his review of A Colbert Christmas. It's so subtle, so riotously deadpan, you can practically taste the sand in his vagina:
Why do men like this say such insincere things when promoting their
shows? That claim of sincerity vanishes within the first 30 seconds,
when Colbert proclaims in his white cardigan and red turtleneck that
he’s so excited for his Christmas special he’s “sporting a Yule log”
and gets out a baseball bat and promises to provide a “freshly hobbled
Tiny Tim.”
I’m guessing that slogan is also ruined by the scene where he tongue-kisses a bear under the mistletoe.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is The Word.
Be sure to order your own copy of A Colbert Christmas on DVD.
