Been wondering when the revenge and retribution Mad King would bring the hammer down on Steven Colbert.

Release the Colbert files!

No worrues. We have a whole year for the truth to leak out.

I just don't understand why these shows need to be political.

If you were a "Real American" with a deep understanding of Americans and American politics and American history you would understand completely that political satire existed in the American colonies even before independence, often used to criticize British rule and advocate for independence.

For example: Benjamin Franklin was a satirist and significant figure in early American political satire, using it in his writings, such as "Rules by Which a Great Empire May Be Reduced to a Small One". He is also credited with creating the first American political cartoon, "Join, or Die", in 1754.

And if you had even half a clue you'd know exactly why political satire is so important to Americans today.

Maybe read a book?
