and, by the way, guys, they filmed "star wars" right here on earth, too

how stupid are conservatives? so stupid, that the guys who put together the tom delay defense fund use stephen colbert as a source for their assertions. nico at think progress tells us:

this morning, delay’s legal defense fund sent out a mass email criticizing the movie “the big buy: tom delay’s stolen congress,” by “outfoxed” creator robert greenwald.

the email features a “one-pager on the truth behind liberal hollywood’s the big buy,” and the lead item is colbert’s interview with greenwald on comedy central (where colbert plays a faux-conservative, o’reilly-esque character). the headline of the “fact sheet”:

hollywood pulls michael moore stunt on delay
colbert cracks the story on real motivations behind the movie

delay thinks colbert is so persuasive, he’s now featuring the full video of the interview at the top of the legal fund’s website. and why not? according to the email, greenwald “crashed and burned” under the pressure of colbert’s hard-hitting questions, like “who hates america more, you or michael moore?”

too bad for delay that rowan and martin stopped doing "news of the future," he might like to know if he's going to jail or not.
