Truthiness, Super PAC stunts as performance art, character satire that took the bluster more seriously than the blusterers did.
The Colbert Report is Stephen Colbert playing a billowing cable pundit until the mask starts making real news. Truthiness as a coinage, Super PAC stunts as performance art, a character who took the bluster more seriously than the blusterers did. Spun from the Stewart orbit into its own desk: satire as a patriot act the target was too busy saluting to notice.
The Busboy page is that report as a production stand. Watch the interviews where the character will not break, the segments that treated policy as a flag. Start with the thesis of the pundit; stay for the nights the stunt left the studio. Character comedy as civic weather. A desk that was a costume and a weapon. The mask is the joke and the journalism.
