You need to see the video of Stephen presenting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, aired on CSPAN only moments ago, if you’ve been even vaguely aware of politics for the past year. Stephen, as well as whomever invited him to speak, may be getting a visit from some hired thugs tonight. Check it out at Crooks and Liars and read more at Editor & Publisher:
A blistering comedy “tribute” to President Bush by Comedy Central’s faux talk show host Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondent Dinner Saturday night left George and Laura Bush unsmiling at its close.
I’m sure there will be many heated discussions in the Oval Office beginning with “who the hell is this Colbert guy?”
Edit: Available at vSocial. It was working, now it says “This video is still being prepared for viewing, and will be available soon.” Guess they didn’t want to handle the traffic? Back to Youtube I go.
I love some of the more shocked than amused looks in the audience.
