Stephen Colbert Roasts Bush


From Crooks and Liars
Stephen Colbert spoke tonight at the dinner and lampooned pretty much everything he could think of and Helen Thomas. I used the second half of his performance because it included the Generals, Scalia, the Faux press briefing and as E&P reported:
"As he walked from the podium the president and First Lady gave Colbert quick nods, unsmiling, and left. E&P's Joe Strupp, in the crowd, observed that quite a few felt the material was, perhaps, uncomfortably biting."
In case you haven't seen it, here's Stephen Colbert's speech at the White House Correspondents' dinner. YOUTUBE unedited in three parts

It looks like the press is ignoring the incredibly nipping Colbert performance. The mainstream media did cover the event in the Sunday Headlines, but intentionally chose not to give Colbert coverage. Check Google News, you'll see this...

He must have some balls to do that character ten feet from Bush and in front of a bunch of Bush supporters. Nothing but respect for that guy.
