Colbert is a really great multi-tasker. He gets that the audience in the room are there for a different reason than the secondary audience and he exploits that discrepancy for huge effect (some of his other notable appearances have a simillar dynamic). He is also able to make a serious point and tell jokes at the same time.

Sometimes the only redeemable thing about two seperate people is that they despise each other.

When I was 16 I volunteered with Naders 2000 campaign. I was living in the suburbs of Seattle and our group consisted of about 7 people: two of us high-school age, and the other six middle aged. All of us were male, white, and socially hopeless. My mom voted for Nader that year. It was also the year my father, traditionally a republican, gave up voting altogether. Bush won president and It was the last time I was even the least bit idealistic about politics. Every kids gotta learn somehow.

To most liberal bloggers, writing about serious democratic candidates is like a really dull term paper they know they will need to finish by the end of fall quarter, but for the time being they are just procrastinating.
