Stephen Colbert: A Book-Dictating American

Je l'aime quand Annette �crit en fran�ais.

I wonder if Colbert would sniff Oprah's coach before sitting on it after the "which hole?" remark to the women admitting to spicing it up by "doing it" with her husband on the golf course behind their house.
The u-tube video clip was unfortunately removed.

Colbert is a clever fellow, but what I find truly amazing is that this book is being published--as a parody of superficial books by pundits--on the expectation that it will actually sell. But who would buy the book, except someone on whom the irony is lost? And what satisfaction would such a person get out of a book by Colbert? The whole thing seems to me to be a contradiction, unless there's some wrinkle of irony I'm missing.

why wouldn't a parody sell? Mad Magazine has been running that stick for over 50 years.

Because it's billed as a book dictated in three days--ie, one not worth reading. Now, one could interpret that as merely posturing, and assume that Colbert working mightily in his garret crafting fine prose, but... the layers of irony are just too thick!

Irony can be spread on too thick? I never read that in the recipe.

This book will fly off the shelves, as Colbert's fans are numerous and lovers of satire have been around at least since the age of Aristophanes.

I'm pretty sure the publishers (and Colbert) know what they're doing.
