Stephen Colbert just keeps us laughing. His "interview" with Lou Dobbs last night was hilarious.
Colbert took on the role of Esteban Colberto, the host of a Spanish-language version of the Colbert Report.
"Colberto" is clearly playing off an old interview with Dobbs. The men weren't in the same studio at the same time. Three giveaways: You never see the two men in the same shot.
Then there's a continuity problem. Hint: Look at "Colberto's" left hand when the camera is on him, then look at it when he's shown from behind in one of the first cutaway shots.
Also, Dobb's book: "War on the Middle Class" was published in 2006, not exactly a book that would be promoted now.
Still, the "interview" is worth watching, especially because Colbert's funny and it demonstrates that fake news has had to become even faker because of the writers' strike.
