I love the old, satiric faux right-wing Stephen Colbert. The guy who roasted George Bush at the Correspondents' Dinner.
I don't like the new Late Night Stephen Colbert nearly as much.
He's not terrible and has some good things, but it's not nearly as good IMO.
His interview with Donald Rumsfeld - apparently an old family friend - contrasts to that Bush speech.
His nightly mainstream schtick of smiling and dancing and corny jokes and not offending much of anyone, bleh.
Like I say, some is better but I prefer the old character.
