throw on a comment - something nice for the host.

Nothing very substantive, good introduction for people who don't know him yet.

He was very charismatic, it's so hard not to like the guy and that really came through in that interview.

Glad to hear you think so.

no cable here now, can someone give a better description--or YouTube!

I agree. He was very funny with the hand-raising. Although he didn't get to explain why he should abolish all of the said departments, it will get people to notice and learn more. And Colbert's audience is young, so they know how to use the internet

I thought it was HILARIOUS! I think it was a great interview, especially for Colbert.

The largest segment had him raise his hand for every department he would eliminate. It turns out he never put his hand down......lol

youtube?

<starts foaming at the mouth>

I'm with zMtLlC, plus I'd add that the people in general really need to hear an explanation for cutting those departments, especially the Colbert Report's audience. I think any points he won he probably lost at the end. But at least he got some more exposure and maybe people will talk/read/think about it.

I thought that was one of his best yet. Looked much more relaxed. Brief summary...

Colbert says he dosn't know what to think because usually he either loves or hates the person he is interviewing, but he dosn't know what to make of Ron Paul.

He goes on to explain the basics of Ron Paul's policy, asks him if he is a Republican or not, Ron Paul says he is, but he is a Constitutionalist too. Colbert dosn't seem to know what one of those is.

Talk about Iraq for a little bit.

Colbert asks him to raise his hand for every agency he would cut, and procedes to name about 15, including the U.N., IRS (Ron almost got out of his seat raising his hand so high), and countless others.

Lots of applause throughout, but the ending applause was alot louder than the first one.


In my opinion, one of his best appearences yet.

Maybe he went a bit overboard on how high he was raising his hand, but I think he did GREAT! Looked like he got a new suit too and he looked wonderful!

This was a very good appearance.

This was a hell of a fast response by the rpf people.

I think Comedy Central is Viacom which has it out for Youtube/Google. I think you will not find the clips on Youtube, but rather on Comedy Central's website. I have no clue when it will be up however.

 

[LibertyEagle]

One thing I love about all this, is this wonderful, patriotic, man is finally getting to hear some of the praise and acceptance he has deserved for so very long. You can tell he eats it up and it just drives him on.

 

[angrydragon]

I think Ron knows when to act in a playful manner and how to act in serious settings.

 

[Rudy McRomneyson]

He bombed it!

Well, folks... he bombed it. That hand raising thing - so passe. He isn't going to get any support from that - in fact, I won't even mention who *he* is.

Now what he should have talked about are good conservative values like raising taxes and giving more to the people. But, he didn't. So, he isn't going to have a chance... * nope *. None at all.

In fact, there's nothing to see here... nothing Don't believe me? Watch Fox and CNN tomorrow.

 

[Bloody Holly]

It was short, sweet and to the point. I was expecting Colbert to tear into him for some reason but he didn't.

If you're not banned, may I suggest to everyone to please ignore this person. No use wasting your energy

I just finished watching Dr. Paul on the Colbert Report.
Besides being a great Constitutionalist leader let’s add to his attributes:
Great sport.
Funny, satirical and witty.
With a lampooning, dry and self-deprecating sense of humor.
How can you not love this man?

Yeah, this was way too short of an interview. If he'd had like 1 or 2 minutes, he could have explained why he thought these should be cut. I still think he did great though.
