I'm so confused...
...but not as confused as Tom Delay's PR people.
Delay's website, where you can donate money to his legal defense fund, includes a clip of Colbert's interviewing
Robert Greenwald about his movie regarding Delay's illegal activities. Greenwald also directed "Outfoxed," and "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price."
Because Colbert is "in character," he is "defending" Delay throughout the video. The clip isn't doctored in any way, it is just Colbert's interview from start to finish. I guess Delay's people think that Colbert is being serious. I cannot understand how stupid they must be to think that. It is literally a five minute clip of two guys making fun of Tom Delay, the end.
I almost feel sorry for Delay....almost.
Crooks and Liars has more...
UPDATE: Keith O. just listed this story in his "Top Three Newsmakers" segment. I believe the headline was "Satire Lost on the Hammer." I'd check my Tivo but it records the midnight showing. I love how stories go straight from Daily Kos, Crooks & Liars etc. to Keith O's Countdown.
