Truthiness in the wild

[Tom Vincent]

And now Colbert's on the cover of Newsweek...albeit in the 'Golden Corner'. :)

  Is it just me, or is anyone else finding Colbert's show superior to the Daily Show itself?

A sighting of "truthiness" (though with scare quotes) in the wild in a
question asked by a non-reporter (and i think that's an important
point--most of the sightings of "truthiness" i've seen so far have been
by professional writers) on one of washingtonpost.com's chat
sessions--see
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2006/01/27/DI2006012700849.html?referrer=email&referrer=email&referrer=email

The question where it appears is just short of halfway through the chat.
