Goes like this (Via Glenn):
Utterly typical HuffPo commentator commits heresy by suggesting that Colbert wasn't as funny as Bush was last weekend (full disclosure; I'm pretty sure that at the time it was going on I was drinking rum punches in Colonial Williamsburg, so I have no idea at all who was funnier, and frankly, I care even less).
Hijinks ensue in comments.
Read on.
Then, in what is... actually, I don't know what it is. The guy might not really understand what he's plugged into; or maybe he's poking the sore to see if it still hurts. Then again, it might just be a cynical ploy to boost hitcount - anyway, Nathan Gardels did it again.
More hijinks ensuing, even as we speak.
I don't have much of an addition - this is here, as opposed to RedHot, because here people can make comments - but I will note that it looks like the fine old Screeching Leftist tradition of answering heretical notions by slamming one's rhetorical head straight into the nearest brick wall is alive and well in the Huffington Post's comment sections. Among other places.

Took the time to quickly scroll through four pages, four long pages of rants literally proving Gardel's point... wow.
. . .that the entrance requirement to be a Huffington Post commenter is to chug a gallon of lead-based paint each time they log on.
are so unbelievably obnoxious and silly that it gives me great cheer simply to be on the other side of the issue, any issue, from them.
HuffPo's just trying to spin away from the substance of Colbert's speech, since on all the issues he raised, it's clear the President is in the right and the left is dead wrong. All their talk of funny versus unfunny is just a childish attempt to avoid the real issues.
This is schradenfreude at its best. It is hilarious to watch the liberals eat their own over such an important issue.
Imagine the gall of Nathan Gardels to even suggest that Colbert wasn't funny. The lives these people lead must be so shallow and empty, swallowed up entirely in their hatred of President Bush. It must have been intolerable to read Gardels' implication that Bush just might be intelligent. Heresy!
