Stephen Colbert's No Friend of Democrats?

Rahm Emanuel doesn't like Stephen Colbert, and he doesn't want you to, either.

Well, maybe that's a bit of an overreaching statement. In a lecture to freshmen Democrats, he warned his colleagues to stay away from Mr. Colbert's show for fear of embarrassment.

What does this mean, though? What does this do to Colbert, who's obviously a Democratic ally, and to his relationship with Democrats? Apparently very little. Immediately after this warning, Rep. Steve Cohen had an interview with Colbert.

While some might feel that Colbert could damage a candidate, it's clear that more than anything Colbert seems to target whether a candidate knows what they're talking about. In the end, isn't it better to know that our representatives really do have our interests at heart and have a fuller understanding of our needs?

Rahm has a good point. Colbert just has more and better points.
