One of the tender mercies of Stephen Colbert's ascension to the "Late Show" set at CBS is his shedding of the faux-conservative "high-status idiot" character.

ObamaCare, John McCain and the Chicago Cubs also got a ribbing in the latest edition of NewsBusted, NewsBusters' original Web comedy short, which you can watch in the embed below the page break.…

On Thursday night, Comedy Central fake conservative Stephen Colbert really launched into Bill O’Reilly as an infantile moron. In a Talking Points commentary on Obama’s hunt for equality, the Fox News star lightly suggested he would “never have physical equality with my fellow Irishman, Shaquille O’Neal.
