1. What I'd like to see is CR Stephen interview LS Stephen before CR closes down

...and then I sincerely hope CR Stephen shows up from time to time on LS Stephen's show for an interview.

2. As soon as the announcement was made about Colbert's replacing Letterman,

members of the right complained to the network. The official reply was that Colbert is "a moderate."

So, I don't know. He may wait until the show has found its rating footing and his audience before he does anything that will rattle any cages on the right. Or not. We'll soon see.

3. The morans didn't know that Letterman is a liberal?

[merrily]

4. Maybe, but Letterman was already an institution before everything in this country

became about left and right of politics. And Jay Leno was still in place on NBC as a counter. Neither of them drove their political POV home every night, as did Colbert.

Also, I have heard Letterman express frustration about both parties, especially as to the environment, so maybe that made him seem like an equal opportunity critic?

6. Why "morans" insteads of "morons"?

I've seen the former used here several times.

5. I hope that last part is right
