From Think Progress, we have proof that the Republicans just don't "get it":

Desperate for Supporters, DeLay Turns to Stephen Colbert

A good sign that Tom DeLay doesn’t have the facts on his side: the top source for his latest defense against his critics is Stephen Colbert.

This morning, DeLay’s legal defense fund sent out a mass email criticizing the movie “The Big Buy: Tom DeLay’s Stolen Congress,â€쳌 by “Outfoxedâ€쳌 creator Robert Greenwald.

The email features a “one-pager on the truth behind Liberal Hollywood’s the Big Buy,â€쳌 and the lead item is Colbert’s interview with Greenwald on Comedy Central (where Colbert plays a faux-conservative, O’Reilly-esque character). The headline of the “fact sheetâ€쳌:

DeLay thinks Colbert is so persuasive, he’s now featuring the full video of the interview at the top of the legal fund’s website. And why not? According to the email, Greenwald “crashed and burnedâ€쳌 under the pressure of Colbert’s hard-hitting questions, like “Who hates America more, you or Michael Moore?â€쳌

Apparently the people at DeLay’s legal fund think that Colbert is actually a conservative. Or maybe they’re just that desperate for supporters.

Frist has responded to the debacle by introducing a bill to ban all satire immediately. Maladministration officials have started a listing on Craig's List for people fluent in satire to man the new 376 mile long "satire wall" to keep out the infidels....

Cheers,
