James Fallows does a great job on Colbert (and notices a few things as well).


COMMENTS / ONE COMMENT

I wish I could keep up with pop culture icons like Colbert, but I just can’t stand his character for more than a few minutes. I’m not even particularly conservative, yet I find his ‘caricature’ of ‘right-wing’ views so over the top as to be infuriating.

Fallows makes some very valid points, but I disagree with the implication that the Iraq war was doomed from the start. Perhaps if the current ‘law and order first’ mentality of the surge was our policy in 2003 instead of Rumsfeld’s ‘democracy is messy’ laissez-faire approach, things wouldn’t have detiorated so badly.
