Barney Frank: Proof positive that all homosexuals are not witty

From the Washington Times:

No matter how hard members of Congress who appear on the "Better Know a District" comedy segment try to beat the system, Stephen Colbert makes them end up looking silly. But several lawmakers said doing the spoof spot on "The Colbert Report" on TV's Comedy Central actually has raised their profiles back home, particularly among young folks.


But Rep. Barney Frank, Massachusetts Democrat, regrets his appearance and called Mr. Colbert a "third-rate" comedian.
"It was a stupid waste of time, and he is two stooges short of a good routine," Mr. Frank said.


Later that same article the Times, which is about on the level of the Drudge Report and Fox News, gets this little lick in:
Mr. Colbert, widely panned for his performance bashing President Bush at the White House Correspondents Dinner, commonly asks guests: "George W. Bush: great president or the greatest president?"

Emphasis mine. Neat how they worked that in. Widely panned? Yeah, I suppose it was-by the people he was "bashing," in other words, the press corps, who actually ignored Colbert's performance for as long as they could.

Then it became obvious that they had to say something, so they set about bashing, and complaining about how he'd spoiled the party. Most people "outside the bubble" seem to have thought he was brilliant.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating until Bush is out of office.

To the White House press corp:

Bush making jokes that suggest sending other people's children to their deaths on a falsehood was funny=cute.

Stephen Colbert making jokes that suggest the press corps is partly to blame for the fact that the country is in such a mellofa hess=an alarmingly disrespectful lack of decorum.
