Colbert On The O'Reilly Factor

By SilentPatriot — January 17, 2007

Stephen Colbert stepped into the "no-spin zone" tonight to chat with his mentor, "Papa Bear" Bill O'Reilly.

"This is an amazing honor. I want you to know that I spend so much time in the world that is spinning all the time, that to be in the no-spin zone actually gives me vertigo."

Colbert was in full right-wing, well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status-idiot-mode and kept O'Reilly on the ropes while getting in a few good jabs -- like ripping on Bill's ancient audience.

To put this nonsensical myth to death, although O'Reilly refers to Daily Show viewers as "stoned slackers," MSNBC found that Daily Show viewers are actually more educated than those who watch The Factor. No-spin, indeed.
