Stephen Colbert deserves a medal.

Colbert did _exactly_ what many of us dream of doing. He showed up at the White House Press Correspondent’s Dinner and skewered everyone there. Apparently George and Laura Bush were not in good humor, and the audience didn’t care for the jokes either. But he’s a hero to the rest of us.
“Democratic Underground”:http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1062760&mesg_id=1062760 has the transcript.

Revisionist Historians, I like to call them.

From today’s Washington Post:

At the White House, spokesman Scott McClellan was asked to explain why Bush last year said, “Any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires — a wiretap requires a court order.

From Ashcroft we expected prudishness and creeping theocracy; from Gonzales we have already had legal defense and justification for torture and indefinite, secret incarceration.
