Colbert assumes Bush and the Neocons aren't depending on the schism
Quote of note:
...it's not every day that the likes of Abshire; Max Kampelman, the former chief negotiator on strategic arms reduction with the Soviet Union; Togo West Jr., president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a black think tank; Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter's national security adviser; Jeane Kirkpatrick, Ronald Reagan's U.N. ambassador; Thomas "Mack" McLarty, Bill Clinton's former chief of staff; and Jane Dixon, former bishop pro tempore of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, can come together on a single subject.

The top domestic news over the last week has been pretty much the 55th presidential inauguration and confirmation battles on Capitol Hill. But what shows up on the tube at 6 and 11 o'clock doesn't necessarily consist of the most significant doings in town. For example, two Washington events leading up to George Bush's Big Bash completely escaped the camera's eye. In the long run, however, they could be every bit as consequential as the president's Inauguration Day declarations or the confirmation votes.
