Truthiness indeed
Stephen Colbert was just nominated for a Peabody.
Here’s the Peabody nominating staff’s reasoning for nominating the Colbert Report:
“Let none dare call it “truthiness.” Colbert, in his weeknight Comedy Central send-up of politics and all that is bombastic and self-serving in cable-news bloviasion, has come into his own as one of electronic media’s sharpest satirists.”
Colbert responded:
“I proudly accept this award and begrudgingly forgive the Peabody Committee for taking three years to recognize greatness. On a personal note, I’d like to say that I’ve long been a fan of Mr. Peabody, as well as his boy Sherman.”
