Talk Show 1

This Episode of the Colbert report was actually quite hilarious in the short clip he addresses a number of things. First and foremost he ridicules the Republican’s attempt at having an ongoing and unpredictable primary period. As we know the Republicans used to use a winner take all system for their primaries. But after seeing how intense the primaries for the Democratic were in 2008, they changed things up this year in hopes of getting a similar level of excitement and interest. Unfortunately for them they sort of failed because they from the very beginning Romney has been extremely effective at winning most of the primaries. Steve also ridicules how difficult it will be for Romney to pick a running mate that will need to appeal to women, Hispanics, blacks, and evangelical Christians. The Colbert Report is clearly a show that does not favor conservatives along with the Republican Party.  As he criticizes Romney one would clearly see that. Colbert then goes on to make it even more satirical by saying that Steve King would be the best one for the Job. He then continues on to ridicule King by saying things such as he believes nondiscrimination laws are not needed along with health insurance for babies.
