Formidable Opponent: Eavesdropping (Colbert Report)
[From Beth Davies. In this clip, Colbert uses the Superman story as a justification for warrantless wiretapping. Usually Colbert's humor is hit or miss with me, but this one is possibly his worst skit yet. Although I always hated the Wonder Twins and their monkey Gleek in the cartoons, I cannot agree with a metaphor comparing Superman and President Bush based on responsible use of super (executive) powers. Based on my research with "Vote Lex 2000," Superman is a representative of the Democrats, while Lex Luthor is a representative of the Republicans. BK]
