Btw I was at the Kerry event (I go to UF), and it was wrong what the police did, but at the same time I admit I wanted the guy to be thrown out of the place...he was an attention-whore (all the videos on the net don't show the incident before the guy asked the questions).

Does anybody know who was plaing the 1994 Stephen Colbert in that one "retro" clip. He looked very familiar.

Thanks for the clarification, and I'm glad I started off my post by apologizing. At the risk of stating the obvious, sometimes sarcasm doesn't come across very well in print.

Of course it's not really "fun"; it's a kid getting tasered. I was being sarcastic.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something, but what is "fun" about the student at the Kerry speech getting dragged away and Tasered? I and all the people I know were very disturbed by that clip. Was it staged? A joke? If so, it was in very poor taste.

"In regards to Tucker Carlson's daddy's cane collection article from Forbes, I'm always amazed when Daily Show digs up stuff like that. Come on, the article was from 1996. I'm just waiting for the day that Daily Show digs up someone's diary entry from junior high or something. There is no escaping!"

I think they used an old article because that was about the time Tucker was having children without health insurance. Sure, he claimed it was his choice to be without health insurance. But if something had gone wrong and his child had needed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical care, Tucker's daddy would have been able to save the day. A newer article would have only shown that Tucker's family is wealthy now, not that they also were wealthy when he was choosing to have children without health insurance.

Way to put profanity right there on the main page.
