It doesn't surprise me how many members of the mainstream press dislike Colbert's speech, because I actually thought that he hit them just as hard, if not harder, than he did Dubya.
Yeah, this is my take on the furor as well.

Given that even a brief conversation about baseball would put me a in a coma, and that I don't see bow ties as all that indicative, I suspect our tastes differ slightly. I wasn't nominating him for comedian of the year; I was disagreeing that he's the most dour, unfunny person imaginable.
