...took heat for crossing Tonight's picket line. Meanwhile, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, TV's havens-in-exile for Bush bashers, found themselves getting turned down by Democratic and left-leaning guests, since they were working without striking writers. Stephen Colbert, in character as a conservative pundit, railed against Barack Obama for pledging, if he's President, to meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yet turning down the Report: "He's saying Stephen Colbert is worse than a terrorist.
