   I hadn’t thought of the Viacom tactic in that way - they use clips of other shows, why can’t we use clips of theirs. Excellent point.

   i see someone watched the show last night are you going to edit his video?

   colbert really does point out- sometimes pretty sharply- the discrepancies between what’s allowable for corporations and the rest of us.

   Thanks for stopping by my blog last week. You say I am directing my concerns at the wrong group of politicians. I feel that ANY member of elected office at the federal level is not acting in the best interest of this nation if they are not seeking a viable way out of the Iraqi war, which has now devolved into a civil war. (never understood the paradox ‘civil war’…kinda like ‘jumbo shrimp’)
   Cheers and NICE blog!
   Angelo

   Angelo Pena,

   I just don’t understand why you’re mad at Kucinich for taking a principled stand. He has never voted for funding towards the Iraq war, so why should he start now? If you want to be mad at someone for, “not seeking a viable way out of the Iraqi war,” you could come to the conclusion that all those who voted in favor of the Iraq war supplemental–excluding Kucinich, Barbra Lee, and Woolsey among others who voted against it–were not seeking a viable way out of the war by further funding it through August 2008.

   If the bill had been voted down (and any bill without a withdrawal time line well could have, there was enough votes if the Democrats had stuck by their principles like Kucinich)there would be no funding and it would be on the President for fielding forces without the support of Congress, whom the sole responsibility for authorizing a use of military force resides in according to the Constitution.

   It’s a double-standard, plain and simple. If you have tons of money, the threat is enough.

   Of course librarians are hiding something. That’s why they don’t want to let the FBI snoop around in the records of the people who check out books. Remember the Republican mantra, “If you don’t have anything to hide, you don’t need to worry about the government spying on you.” So the librarians must have some dirty terrorist leather-bound plot that they are keeping from us.

   Fred, Viacom will sue you for that picture as soon as a lawyer becomes available. Colbert is their bitch, after all.

   And I guess the justice department is just trying to do their part to prevent all of those blogs and TV shows from committing copyright infringement by not allowing transcripts to be made of their congressional testimony. The only purpose of a transcript is to be copied by all sorts of unsavory people later on and used without proper attribution in an attempt to steal the government’s intellectual property. Oh, Gonzo, what a thoughtful young man he is. Just looking out for us.
