George Will Fucks Colbert up, left, right and every way.

No, that this should not be much of a surprise, though I would think Will would smear a smile every now and then. Perhaps this is just wishful thinking, as I've never seen George Will smile. Ever. And maybe he won't. Ever. Still, the man is a stalwart of conservatism. And I don't mean that stupid bullshit "I'm one of you!" crap that GW did so well. Nor do I mean that stupid bullshit "I'm one of you" that Reagan ran on. Nor do I mean that "I'm not Jimmy Carter" that Nixon ran on.

No, George Will channels the era of Buckley Jr., but without the warm-hearted cheer and semblance of friendly and lively debate. George Will's counterpoints crack like a whip across his opponent's words. Unless you agree with him you are wrong and he simply not interested in any attempt to sway his belief structure. Normally, Colbert can squeeze a juicy bit from any sour lemon, but not so with Will. Instead, Will counters with blank-faceted one liners. Surely, someone whom espoused analytical thought would be open to interpretation? Not so, and that is what Colbert faced. The essence of the "unapologetic, mean-spirited, asshole that is absolutely correct, and you know it" pundit. One might take that as a derogatory view of Will, but I view it as exactly Will's strength. George Will is not a cuddly conservative of comfort. He is coldly assertive. He is not your buddy, he is your better, and he will make sure to remind you of that.

Many consider Limbaugh to be the bastion of Modern conservatism. Limbaugh wishes he could be even remotely resemble Will. For Colbert to think he could tear down something like Will is sheer insanity and Will proved that. You cannot embarrass or upset that which has no doubt nor humility.

Yet, with all of the appeal of a steel wall and the bravado of a hydrogen bomb, George Will stood against the mock-centric machine known as Stephen Colbert and not only escaped unmarred, but completely unscathed. Not only did George Will run Colbert down, but he made a very good statement for his cause, despite Colbert's best efforts. All of which proved that not only is George Will a formidable opponent, but that the GOP has much deeper and better intellectual minds than the barren shit-waste that comprises of Hannity, O'Reilly, Levin, Limbaugh, Savage, Boortz, ad nauseam.

Why stop at Will? Surely Frank Luntz would love to come back onto the Report.
