Stephen ColbertVS Bill O'Reilly

Oh man, I wish I had been able to tape this. Stephen Colbert was on right-wing francophobe self-evangelising hubris-meister Bill O’Reilly’s show on Fox News about ten minutes ago. It was gold, pure comedy gold! Colbert to O’Reilly on the Fox host’s ‘liberal’ critics:

“You know what I hate about people who criticise you? They criticise what you say, but they never give you credit for how loud you say it… …or how long you say it.”

If anyone spots it on YouTube or the likes, drop me a line. It should appear in this search at some point, providing somebody captures it.

UPDATE 21st January 2007:

Oh Yes. Here it is. Enjoy.

Quote also updated from the video - I misheard slightly the first time.

Metroblogging Bangkok is a really interesting read. This guy’s moblogging the aftermath of the coup in Thailand.

Media clampdown in operation
Thailand could be facing serious media clampdowns in new rules proposed today.
Starting tomorrow, all media operators, including Internet media companies, will face immediate closure if they publish any news articles or comments which could be deemed a threat to Thailands national security and monarchy.
The Information Ministry invited all companies and operators to discuss cooperation methods in helping the government “to restrict, control, stop or destroy information deemed to affect the constitutional monarchy”.
Chief internet inspector Kritpong Rimcharonepak told reporters: “We seek their cooperation not to present articles, remarks, or information that will infringe the democratic reform under the constitutional monarchy. They can still present political comments on their media, but if anything goes wrong, the caretakers of those media must take responsibility.”
