...Bush family's aura of privilege at a time when Clinton felt persecuted. Besides, whatever their history, the dynastic calculations were dizzying: one man's son is President, and the other's wife is believed by many to be a contender for next in line--a pair of legatees who, just to complicate things further, also happen to be the two most polarizing figures in American politics. Spanning those gaps would require a bridge not to the 21st century--but to the 21st dimension. How could it possibly work...

But sharp writing and Colbert's wholehearted inhabiting of his blowhard alter ego showed that there's as much potential in mocking cable opinion shows as in the news itself. Like The Daily Show, the show is uneven -- between the pair, you've got 14 minutes of solid comedy every night -- but it's worth catching for Colbert's nightly editorial, "The W?rd," in which his bluster is counterpointed by commentary from the on-screen graphics. This is a worthy second half to a media-savvy Daily Double...
