Recent news articles have mentioned a big argument between Stephen Colbert and Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner, at a recent Book TV Expo.

Anyone actually watching on C-SPAN2 (and I was...yes, I watch C-SPAN and I know that makes me a big nerd) can tell that they were obviously just joking around with each other.

I figured a clip of the "argument" could set the record straight that there was no big "fight," just two guys joking around. (thank you C-SPAN for liberalizing your copyright policies so I can actually post it).

  • Stephen Colbert is playing a character. He plays the role of a philistine conservative. That's why the people were laughing see. If that really went over your head then you aren't exactly an "Ace".

  • Wait a second....You don't actually think that he's a Republican....do you? It's all an act. He satirizes Conservatives by acting like them.
