Stephen Colbert Tells Laura Ingraham She's a Terrible Writer (VIDEO)

You have to hand it to Stephen Colbert and his writers. They found a clever way of dissing Laura Ingraham and her new book, 'The Obama Diaries.'

On last night's 'The Colbert Report' (weeknights at 11:30PM ET on Comedy Central), Colbert, playing his part as cable news blowhard, told Ingraham that the writing of the book was terrible and banal. The joke of the book is that it is supposedly President Obama's diaries, so Colbert saying that Obama's writing is bad really means that Ingraham's writing is bad because she's the one who wrote the book.

It's not as confusing as that paragraph would make it seem.
