mahaadoxyz Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 This is actually a pretty simple scenario, really. Democrats Stephen Colbert Republicans Stephen Colbert No primaries, really; at least, you could play with primaries, but they would be boring. What I really need is the issues, which I want to take as much as possible from the Formidable Opponent section on the show. I have a partial list: Charity Torture Indefinite Detention Immigration Stem Cell Research Iraq Offshore Drilling Wall St. Bailout Terrorist Trials Global Warming ...which is about half as many as I need. I figure I can always throw in "Bears" and maybe one or two others that are Report staples but aren't in this segment, like maybe "Truthiness," and if I really, really need to I could use a couple of just general-interest big topics. Or maybe one issue could just be "George W. Bush", with the options ranging from "Great President" to "The Greatest President". (Actually I'd probably allow a more full range... the liberal Stephen needs something to say!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matvail2002 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 So, you mean Colbert (the character) vs. Colbert (the actor/humorist)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahaadoxyz Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Kind of, yeah. Alternately, the "liberal" Colbert vs. the "conservative" Colbert from the Formidable Opponent segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGaffney Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 It's more like Colbert the character v Colbert the liberal character who is probably closer to Colbert the actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahaadoxyz Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Right. Also sort of "what he says" vs. "editorial point of view of the show". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
