Measuring the "Colbert Bump"
An anonymous reader writes "Democratic politicians receive a 40% increase in contributions in the 30 days after appearing on the comedy cable show The Colbert Report. In contrast, their Republican counterparts essentially gain nothing. Moreover, even a cursory analysis demonstrates that despite being a comedy program The Colbert Report appears to exercise 'disproportionate real world influence' — likely due to the 'elite demographic' of its audience." In my home we refer to Stephen as "Loud Daddy" because my child would scream bloody murder when we paused him (and only him) on screen. Even at 8 months old the kid has strange taste.
I think you are making a very good point
in this case due to their hypocrisy because several Republicans are homosexual.
So, do we get to rip on Democrats for being Catholic and pro-abortion?
Just remember - if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.
The Daily Show never made fun of Clintons politics. They just stuck to making fun of his eating habbits and sexual activity. To me it felt like they went easy on him.
