The Ideological Turing Test is inteinteresting.  I wonder how applying it to the content of The Colbert Report, and the character Colbert played on the show, would result. IIRC, someone had done some impromptu, unscientific person-on-the-street interviews to determine his political affiliation, and he came off as sincere to those who self-identified as conservative and mocking conservatives to self-identified liberals.
