Colbert Report takes on Bush Library opponents

Classic Colbert! He opened last night's show with a joke about the Bush Library ("Library Scarred") and then did an extended bit making fun of our favorite theology professors/hippies ("SMAFU").

Pay attention to the graphics to the right of Colbert. Funny stuff.

Colbert is great - The line about if a football stadium counts as a church was funny. Because at SMU it actually does not.

If this blew up much more, I could see this as a South Park episode next season. Bush Library comes to South Park. Methodists protest. That will of course be after the Scientologists name Tom Cruise as Jesus episode which I predict will be the lead-off episode next season.

You need to email that idea to Trey Parker and Matt Stone

Does this count as there is no such thing as bad news?

Terrific stuff.

If, indeed, the esteemed GWB Library comes to the Hilltop, we had better get used to being the laughing stock of the world.

Only the laughing stock of the surrender monkeys.

That was well done. Despite the fact you know its all tongue in cheek and he really probably agrees with the two professors, it was very funny. The line "Honor the Office, not the man" with the caption "Clinton's favorite pick-up line" was pure genius.

Still trying to understand where the Methodist Clergy was when Playboy held auditions for SMU students.

Semi-political issues - they start a petition, website against it

Moral issue - "crickets"

Methodists gave up on morals a LONG time ago. Now, it's considered un-cool to complain about such things.

That's not true at all. This is a small group of ultra left wing clergy who are getting press only because they pander to the pet causes of the liberal media elite. The overwhelming majority of methodists care a lot about morals.

The real problem here is that SMU is in many ways methodist in name only. Under the banner of open inquiry, we support the same hackneyed liberal slant from a bunch of sweater-wearing, ivory-tower eggheads who have never held a real job and think that the abstract world in which they live actually resembles the real world. They believe in their heart of hearts that the superstition called Christianity needs to be forever wiped from the face of the earth -- or at least emasculated and subordinated to political correctness.

True education, the kind that was offered at SMU as recently as the early 1960's and which has been increasingly disappearing ever since, is by and large no longer available. (Exceptions do exist, but they are rare). What you get is indoctrination and unbelievable resistance to admitting the very slight possibility that someone other than the liberal elites themselves might have an idea worth the remotest consideration. Free and open inquiry has become a farce. Freedom means freedom to spew left wing drivel. And openness means openness to everything *except* western culture, an understanding of and communion with which was the very reason the university was created.

I'm talking of course about Dedman College, not the trade school up the Boulevard or any of the other specialist schools.

Go SU Ustangs.
