Stephen Colbert deserves a medal.
April 30, 2006
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.
“Crooks and Liars”:http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/04/29.html has the downloadable video.
“Editor and Publisher”:http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002425363 has analysis.
Next time, Colbert will be speaking in a “free speech zone,” I’m sure.

I can only imagine they thought his character on “The Colbert Report” was real.
It looks like Bush much preferred the impersonator making jokes about the goofy way he talks.

I swear, if I were not married, he would have a stalker. It’s nice to know you feel the same way.

Not sure I feel precisely the same way, Donna, but I take your point. ;-)
