[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;16843250]Jon>>>>Steven I think.[/QUOTE]
Jon is legitimately reporting news and debating, albeit a tad biased as he is a democrat, but as unbiased as he can, as he's made fun of plenty of officials representing either the left or the right wings. for the most part, unbiased.
The Colbert Report, however, is satire. What Stephen is doing is satirizing far right news anchors/talk shows, such as everything you find on particular news stations :foxnews:, so you can't really take everything if anything he says seriously. Not to mention the point of the show is purely for laughs. Then again so is The Daily Show, but majority of it is factual, with only a bit of made up stuff tossed in.

Saying "It's too hard!" isn't an excuse to NOT read it and then mouth off like you have.

I never said that it was an excuse for anything.
I'm implying that with only a minimal understanding of government, the bill can be misinterpreted.
I [I]just[/I] watched this and was floored by her ignorance. The information twisting she was doing, which was [B]completely[/B] made up, was like watching a forum troll at work. It scares me people believe her.

Most Americans can't understand a lot of things, but that is because learning to read big words takes practice.
It looked like he was slowly going insane when she was talking.

That happened the day after. Yes she resigned, but I'd bet money that there wasn't alot of pressure someone else.
lankist is right bills need to be very arcane sounding and intricate to make sure all your bases are covered
I enjoy the fact that facepunch is a very bipartisan forum because it lets me argue and debate with our right wing brethren with a certain degree of respect but this lady gets none. She's a moron.
I liked when Stewart said, "All this is bullshit because your death wishes can just as well say 'God dammit keep me alive'" true, funny, and crushed that bimbo.

I know. That still doesn't mean resigned = fired.

wait, so, you'd bet money that no one was pressuring her to leave? yet you say she got fired?
