This morning Richard Cohen’s column titled Digital Lynch Mob describes Cohen’s recent encounter with certain bloggers and readers of those blogs who disgaree with two of his recent columns:
Two weeks ago I wrote about Al Gore’s new mo…

He thinks that because the targets of the performance were not pleased to be exposed on national TV, it wasn’t funny seeing them not be pleased, that it isn’t funny to see an arrogant buffoon like Mr. Bush humiliated.

Movie makers have raked in hundreds of millions of dollars with scenes no different from the Colbert performance, but fictional. Animal House. Caddyshack. Porky’s. M*A*S*H. Back to the Future. Any Rodney Dangerfield movie.

They all made people laugh, they all paid the writers handsomely, and they all revolved around humiliating an arrogant buffoon and his toadies. This wasn’t a movie though, this was real, and the arrogant buffoon in question was the biggest, most arrogant buffoon in the world. This was light years beyond funny. It was “Porky’s” on steroids.

It was a performance for the ages. The jokes would have been only mildly funny in any other context, but delivered to the president while staring him straight in the eye? It can’t GET any better than that.

I’ll concede that Mr. Cohen did not find Colbert funny, because of course he was part of the target, but the rest of the world is having a mighty fine time at the expense of morons like Cohen.

So Cohen exposes the degree of his stupidity, and he is surprised that people think he is stupid. I guess that is just another definition of stupidity.

I wish I were stupid enough to write badly enough to make the kind of money Mr. Cohen must make.
