1. Another question for you poll -
Who is more likely to come to DU under a pseudonym and post a poll asking who is funnier - Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert?

12. Okay.
This 'poll' is recurrent. That is, you are not the first person to make a post like this. Or the second. Or the third.

Self obsession seems to be far more in character for Stephen Colbert, so we could deduce that Stephen Colbert and/or his staff come here under multiple DU screen names and to see who is more popular.

And. It's a joke son, a joke.

8. Not a good choice. Stewart and Colbert are funny in different ways.
Stewart skewers our politics and politicians when they cross the line into the absurd. He is there to point out those absurdities. Colbert does brilliant satire. Both are masters of their comedy niche.

11. Colbert is funnier.
I like TDS, but it's only really funny during the first ten minutes when Stewart spoofs the news. I don't find the sidekicks amusing at all. Colbert is funny throughout the show and all his bits are great.
