Stephen Colbert Lambastes Bush at White House Coorespondent’s Dinner

Posted in Politics/Economics, World on May 1st, 2006

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a group of more uncomfortable people than when Stephen Colbert lambasted the president,sitting only a few feet away from the podium. While the AP barely mentions Colbert’s performance, the blogs left are overjoyed. One clever fellow set up Thank you site (Digg it here). My favorite lines:

The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put ‘em through a spell check and go home. … Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know - fiction!

UPDATE: Apparently, Bush was really angered by Colbert’s performance. I couldn’t be more pleased.
