Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central & ex-daily show staffer, was invited to give a tribute to President Bush at the White House Correspondent Dinner Saturday night. (Who Came Up w/that Brilliant Idea??) Did he ever...When it was over, the president and First Lady gave him quick nods, unsmiling, and left immediately. Laura looked pissed! It was basically 30 mins of continuous uninterrupted mocking of the president, while he was sitting 10 feet away ; he eviserated the whole administration and the press. Ball of steel; of course he should stay out of small jets from here on out. Finally, if I were Colbert I'd have a hazmat suit on to open my mail from now on.
Addendum: This is truely must see media, discribed by one commenter as, "It was like [watching] Prince Hamlet's uncle Claudius watching the play version of Claudius poisoning his brother, the King of Denmark, and marrying then marrying the freaking Queen."
