brilliant!

exactly what were they thinking when they asked colbert to host the WH correspondent's dinner? i absolutely love it.
--------------------------

so stephen colbert hosted the white house correspondents dinner tonight.

good jokes that mostly fell flat because they were so dead on and a lot of people possibly felt nervous laughing right in the president's face.

the full video can be found here (~25 mins): http://throwawayyourtv.com/2006/04/c...spondents.html

a few select lines:

"I give people the truth unfiltered by factual argument. I call it the No Fact Zone. Fox News, I hold a copyright on that term."

"The government that governs best is the government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."

"reality has a well known liberal bias"

"I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things, like aircraft carriers, rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong mesasge that no matter what happens to America she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world!"

"The greatest thing about this President is you know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday!"

"Fox News gives you both sides of every story, the President's side and the Vice President's side."

"Write that novel you've 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!"

"[Jesse Jackson] is a very challenging interview... It's like boxing a glacier. Enjoy that metaphor by the way because your grandchildren will have no idea what a glacier is."

"Mayor Nagin is here from New Orleans, the Chocolate City... Mayor Nagin, I'd like to welcome you to Washington D.C., the Chocolate City with a marshmallow center... and a graham cracker crust of corruption."

I thought that was a lie he made up to be funny!

i didnt give it a second thought myself. i have to pay more attention to the crap the says, since apparently the most outrageous stuff ISN'T made up!

I don't know if this was at the same thing, but I saw Bush and some impersonator together. Bush looked so uncomfortable trying to make it look as though he could laugh at himself. Fucktard.

wow thats fucking great. i love colbert. i think the colbert report is funnier than the daily show now-a-days.

blasphemy!!!!!!!!!

lol i know! *hides*

I like his show but I think he routinely goes overboard with the interviews. He puts so much effort into playing his role that you don't get much out of them, and he interviews lots of people I want to hear from.

I wonder how he can walk with such huge brass balls? After reading that it's hard for me to decide to cheer or just laugh my ass off.

both!!!!

thanks for this, im sending it around. the guy need to know how much he's appreciated for this!

Thats the point!

its exactly like O'Reily interviews, where you dont get much out of them, and he makes a fool of them by being so ridiculous. its funny!

I thought he kicked SO MUCH ass at the dinner, Bush was SUPER pissed, he left right after colbert got done, and didnt shake his hand.

anyways, if you want real, structured interviews, watch the Daily Show, cause it does stray into serious questions.

even though i dont have a spare half hour to kill, i'm going to watch that video anyway.

Mmmmwwwwaaaaah haaaaaah haaaaaaaaaaa

A man that is a walking joke can't handle jokes made about his ineptitude.

Didn't shake Colbert's hand? What a pussy.

I would hate to be old Steve's accountant come tax time...

well, he's got a year until the next tax time. He'll have time to get his affairs in order.

I just watched it last night, fucking hilarious. I officially worship that guy now.

George W did shake Colbert's hand.....if you watch the video it shows them shaking hands

That was great.

I noticed that there were very few glimpses of Dubya's face during that video -- and in the ones that were visible, the man looked positively constipated!
Comedic gold.
lol

Chyia, much entertained
