CNN is really pushing the Colbert story [View all]

I'm all for it of course. They are covering Colbert's epic show last night with lengthy clips and presenting it in a very pro Colbert, anti CBS way.
Again, fine with me.

But after the second segment on this story in a one hour show (the Situation Room), it started to feel a little excessive. I mean, anything is preferable to their "panel" discussions, but really it was like half of the show was devoted to Colbert! Seemed a little odd.
