ED DRISCOLL: Colbert’s Appearance is Perfect Bookend for 111th Congress. “I’m not at all sure that Colbert’s appearance was deliberately planned to take the heat off Coates’ testimony today — the Palace Guard Media would have ignored it on TV tonight and buried it in a one-inch column on page D-27 of the paper tomorrow no matter what was said. Which is why, like President Obama endorsement of the Ground Zero Mosque last month, this was another unforced error of huge proportions.”
