Cohen criticizes Colber: Not so funny

What makes this guy, or anyone else think that Colbert meant to be funny?

Media Matters - Cohen -- who never criticized Bush's 2004 skit mocking lack of Iraqi WMDs -- called Colbert "a bully " for his "rude" and "insulting" correspondents dinner routine:

"Summary: In a column titled 'So Not Funny,' Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen declared that comedian Stephen Colbert's scathing routine at the White House Correspondents Association dinner was 'rude' and 'insulting,' and added that Colbert was 'a bully.' However, Cohen offered no criticism of Bush when, in a pre-taped skit at the 60th annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents Association (RTCA) in 2004, he made light of the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."
