Stephen Colbert has a sophisticated kind of humor that not everyone is going to get. There may be a little of Andy Rooney or Dave Barry in it. I thought that his performance was clever and satirical.

I don't think it was delivered in a hateful manner. He was puttiog the White House on. It was intended as a "roast" but turned out to be a satire or parody on the concept of a "roast" in general which is a strange idea to begin with.

I think that it was truly funny because the people for whom the satire was aimed laughed in spite of themselves. That's quite an accomplishment for a humorist.
