All you need to know...

Truthiness hurts.

And as far as presidential approval rating polls go with the glass is half empty analogy: "the last 1/3 is usually backwash." You can thank Stephen Colbert too.

I think it's safe to say that the biggest challenge for Stephen Colbert after his show started was, could he distinguish himself from Jon Stewart and The Daily Show? I've watched almost all episodes of The Report so far (and TDS :)), and there are times where he comes off as a parody of Chris Matthews more than O'Reilly, because he does take certain arguments to exhaustion, but the rest of the show is unique and has loads of comedic value (Go fightin' Pacifists! of non-violence preaching Universities). I saw more of that at this dinner (even if some of the material was old :)).

The Washington Post has wide coverage.
