| Thu, 18 May 2006 12:00:00 EST Memo to Colbert fans: Humor and edginess aren't the same |
| After comedian Stephen Colbert's anti-Bush routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, I suggested here that what he said that night was clever but not very funny. The blog Boiling Mad criticized me over this, saying that "Mr. Leo ignored the meat of Colbert's remarks. Read these excerpts ... and decide for yourself whether Colbert was edgy or not." Colbert surely was edgy (or, if you prefer, insulting, rude, bold, courageous, or taunting), but that didn't make his comments humorous. |
