...taxes, his plan would give you relief. But in one indication of the kind of autumn it's been, the tax-reform commission he appointed to lay the groundwork for new tax legislation reported back last week with an unsalable hash that one senior Administration official called "a dog." So White House and Treasury officials will have to rewrite it, stripping out, among other things, a proposal to scale back the politically sacrosanct home-mortgage tax break, before Bush spells out particulars in his State of the Union address in January.

There's an obvious political spin to that caricature--recall the 2004 election, when the Bush campaign positioned itself against ivory-tower liberal élites. Colbert's persona has a conservative bent: in his words, he's a reflexive "Blame America last-er" and has a dog named Gipper.

But there has remained something undeniably attractive about the wrong side of town, sleeping late on a Monday, and his puppy dog grin (the one other girls know nothing about). And at Harvard, the bad boys just stand out all the more. I wasn’t the only fairly angelic freshman who fell hopelessly for pot-smoking artist after self-victimizing valium addict after self-absorbed athlete. To this day, my friends...
What the video lacks in professionalism, it more than compensates for in down-home charm: Mrs. Berman puts on like a young June Carter Cash (down to her signature sun dress and teased tresses), a couple of unkempt friends play catch with the Bermans’ dog, and Dave hams it up with a wind-up Halloween prop...
