Colbert On Cunningham-McCain Flap
Did you see Stephen Colbert's brilliant take on the Bill Cunningham-John McCain flap on "The Colbert Report" last night?
You can see it online at our politics blog

Or the Colbert site

Colbert's writers did a great job making fun of Cunningham, McCain's response and talk radio. My favorite line: "I've always hated him (McCain) going back to when Rush Limbaugh told me to hate him."
But curiously, the online bit ends abruptly, cutting off Colbert's final joke. Colbert concluded the piece by complaining about McCain: "He back-stabbed a man for noting that Barack Obama is probably a terrorist." Censorship? How about some truthiness here?
Will that line be seen when "The Colbert Report" repeats at 8:30 p.m. tonight?
10:30 p.m. Update/Correction: Just finished watching tape of the entire show. The Colbert back-stabbing joke appeared later in the half-hour, during "Threat Down," not as part of the Cincinnati report at the top of the show. Glad to see it! What a great show last night. Truthiness prevails!

Hillarious! Colbert is awesome. And yes it appears the 8:30 rebroadcast cut out the terrorist line.
my day is not complete until i watch stewart and then colbert ... very cathartic...i love political satire...
OTS, but who is the new evening traffic person at 700? He has one of the best voices I've heard in ages. Soft spoken but forceful.
