The parody&#039;s just  a little too spot-on for me.  I do ADORE his rapport with Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), though.  In the end, it&#039;s all about Jon Stewart, though.  The &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be your monkey&quot; comment that single-handedly brought down Bob Novak&#039;s Crossfire was priceless.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love Colbert for the Correspondents&#39; Dinner alone, but it&#39;s damn hard to watch his show.
