to anyone who thinks colbert doesn't let people get their word across, i disagree. His making fun of the issue just makes the issues better expressed, unless it's a crazy right wing bastard in which he just makes fun of them. But of course he doesn't let anyone get a point in, that's exactly what O'Riely does. But to say that there is a huge difference in the shows because colbert's show is just a joke and all opinion and no fact, that is exactly what O'Riely's show is. Colbert doesn't take himself that seriously, you'd know this if you saw him in his second city days when he'd come talk to the fans after performances.
