Stephen Colbert on the Beckining

Once more, Comedy Central presents the best MSM — or LSM, or SSM (side-stream media) — analysis of the now-concluded Beckification available. Rich accurate analysis, wrapped in a comic soufflé that was actually pulled out of the oven in time. Piping hot and sharply funny.

Kudos to those 12 Emmy-winning writers who churn out, let's see, two terrific minutes each per show. Way to go; I'm so jealous. "Silver freedom spaceship that runs on human tears"? That's up there with "Tek Jansen, you've obviously had many girlfriends." Like I say, jealous; I haven't had many girlfriends.

Did you notice, by the way, the Beckian chalkboard comment at 5:25: "Why was the Reconstruction Era evil?" It's like Colbert's The Wørd, only ... evil.

Colbert, at his White House best. Enjoy:



The Beck — still crazy, after all these years.
