Colbert, For Real

Given the number of Americans who think Obama is Muslim, or from another country, or a Karl Marx space alien here to destroy the world...as revealed in recent polls...

I am wondering how many folks think that Steven Colbert's neo-con shtick is for real?

Seriously...

There has to be a certain number of folks lacking in any ability to detect irony or sarcasm.

Some of them must be politically conservative.

Perhaps, they think there is some old equal time law, which forces Comedy Central to have a voice that represents their beliefs on the air...

The Colbert Report is it, in their addled, water-filled heads.

Really, the guy has flags, talks about freedom, mocks politicians and professors...

It all seems very real, in spite of what that guy at work tells them.

There must be, at least, a hundred of them.

Believers...

Perhaps, my own liberal, college educated mind has read too much into the show?

Maybe it is for reals...

It is only marginally more absurd than most of the Tea Party tripe, The Colbert Report.

Has the wacko Hollywood media elite let a giant whopper slip through the liberal net and speak to Joe Sixpack?

Parody can be so confusing...

So, with that, is it funnier that there are people wearing "Obama Been Lyin" t-shirts think Colbert is real...or completely thinking the elected president is a Marxist Muslim from Kenya?

I know, neither option generates much confidence in the world we live in.
