Good Morning Richard Cohen!

The Washington Post's Richard Cohen on Stephen Colbert's performance at the White House Correspondent's Dinner:

In Washington he was playing to a different crowd, and he failed dismally in the funny person's most solemn obligation: to use absurdity or contrast or hyperbole to elucidate -- to make people see things a little bit differently.

Bruno Kirby on Robin William's performance in the movie Good Morning Vietnam!:

Comedy? No, no. This is not comedy. Comedy is fun, it's antics, hysterical-type things. Antics, damn it. Comedy of errors, like the Keystone Cops falling down. General wackiness like that.

Sounds like the same twit, doesn't it?
