Hmm, except for the thing about gun control, that’s not a bad little rant. In my opinion Colbert has reacted to the Obama era quite a bit differently. Colbert seems willing to soften his jokes about “war on terror”-related issues with Bush out of the White House. A Democratic administration really tells you who’s who among satire-minded comedians. I always wish Bill Hicks had been alive to see more of the Clinton years.
