You owe me 5 minutes of my life back for that boring, not-funny, and silly clip.

that's because you have no sense of humor
either that or the joke was too nuanced and went right over your head or maybe just through your empty skull

Right Straw, right over my head.
Colbert is just another hack who shilled for this idiot in the WH and has to go to whatever lengths possible to mask the disaster that is unfolding day by day with this admn.

It's called willful ignorance. But, you're free to pretend all you want.

just because you take him seriously doesn't mean everyone else has to

I never said I took him seriously, nor is that the issue. You said he was a comedian, not a pundit. I said he's both.
Comedy can be used as a communicative medium for just about any subject from politics to racial issues to environmental issues, and on...
Just because he's using satire, does not mean that he's not espousing his political views for the mass media - just as any other political pundit.

A pundit is someone who offers to mass-media his or her opinion or commentary on a particular subject area (most typically political analysis, the social sciences or sport) on which they are knowledgeable. The term has been increasingly applied to popular media personalities. In certain cases, it may be used in a derogatory manner as well.

I should have asked you a better question
I don't really see Colbert (or John Stewart) as a pundit in the same sense that one might call O'Reilly or Olberman a pundit
I don't think Stewart or Colber shilled for Obama (as 333 said).
I don't see either one as having a clearly defined political agenda (as some might say of Maddow or Beck for example)

LOL, calm down 3333, it's just the comedy channel. It was funny.

Remember when Ronald Reagan was president??? We also had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash... Now that Obama is president we have no hope and no cash.

It was very boring at best.
