Where Andrew Bolt's Deranged Polemic ... Gets What's Coming To It

Sunday, April 29, 2007

Bolt 29/4: "If only cars could run on hypocrisy" and "Truthiness of untruths defended"
Andrew's apparently started watching (at least parts of) both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

I think he's missing much of the point, though. He enjoyed Lewis Black's mockery of celebrity global warming "advice", as you'd expect, but doesn't seem to have been quite so keen on anything else from that episode. (The demolition of the imaginative Baghdad wall plan, for instance.) And he's apparently seen enough of Stephen Colbert to pick up on his first Wørd segment entry, "truthiness", although he appears not to be aware who and what precisely was being satirised by it. ("And what about Iraq? If you think about it, maybe there are a few missing pieces to the rationale for war. But doesn't taking Saddam out feel like the right thing?")

Still, I'm all in favour of Bolt directing his loyal readers to both shows. Patronising though this sounds, exposing the denizens of his forum to some common sense through satire could only be a good thing.
