Slog - Comments on Colbert's Trifecta http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/colberts_trifecta Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and some dude named John Edwards—they're all on the Colbert Report tonight. The Caucus at the New York Times has a spoileriffic blog post about the whole shebang....

This is the one time I don't feel smug for not having a TV.

I know they write the jokes for them, but he played along really well. Universal haircare! 1,000,000th mention! Very funny. I liked Hillary making fun of herself as well with the 3 a.m. phone call as well. I think Barack would've been funnier if he was actually live, as opposed to the satellite connection, but that's just me.

What a score for Colbert - and to think Stewart had on Uma Thurman (terrible interview) - he has really eclipsed his old boss. I wonder if the Michelle booking two days ago was a trail balloon for Obama's participation - he really softballed that interview and let her plug her message repeatedly.

Hillary's delivery was pretty good, much less wooden than I would expect. Obama suffered from the satellite feed -- this has been a pretty consistent theme with him. Whenever I've seen him on a not-completely-serious show via satellite, he doesn't come across as well.

And Obama was enjoying himself hugely, which made it fun. ...OK yes, I hate Clinton and can't say anything nice about her. I admit it.
