Stephen Colbert ridicules everyone as speaker at White House dinner.

he's really good, but i like jons style better because he is witty and natural, not forcing a character in the same way as colbert. stephen is still pretty funny tho.
 
"i know some of you will actually look that up and tell me thats not true. well thats because you looked it up in a book!"
 
hahhaah, who the fuck scheduled him? That's one of the funniest blunders this administration has made...

the rest... ehh, not so great
 
The most offensive part is that today in the New York Times, I saw a story about the dinner and Colbert wasn't even mentioned. The article only talked about how Bush had a great time at the dinner.
 
haha what do you mean no one laughed? I would say that probably no one over the age of 50 laughed once, which is atleast half-3/4 of them. And then, only half of those people under 50 laughed because the other half is conservative. So alas. All that could have laughed, did.

I thought it was amazing. I still wonder whose idea it was to get Colbert. Someone totally wanted to fuck with Bush and co.
 
sir this means that the glass is really 2/3 empty, but I wouldnt drink the rest because thats usually backwash
 
"If you need anything, just speak into your table number, someone from the NSA will be over with a cocktail immediatley."

That was fucking MONEY
 
Haha i was really baked and flipping through the channels late at night and that was on live on c-span....funniest thing that channel ever saw.
 
thank you that made my day. no wait week. that was great, i've been waiting for someone to say it to bush's face for so long, it's finally here.
 
"like boxing a glacier"..."enjoy that metaphor, cause your grandchildren arent going to know what a glacier is"

"more like getting punched in the head over and over"

"68% disapprove of the job he's doing...that also means 68% approve of the job he's NOT doing"

i love it
 
and a graham cracker crust of corruption, basically a mallomar is what i'm describing.

On another side of the media reaction to this, it's got a few people pissed off.

I think somebody's earlier comment about the age difference having an effect on the reaction is dead on. My journalism professor, who is a hardened news-room bitch, thought it wasn't funny. I don't think you have to watch his show to tell he's being a deadpan idiot type (in a funny, purposeful way)
 
i can see how people didnt think it was funny. and think colbert is a "deadpan" idiot type. HOWEVER, i bet he'd rather be that than be one of the naive reporters who takes whatever the gov't says, and swallows it no questions asked. the stupid stuff is just part of his humor, making light of such serious situations, pretty much just another fuck you after stating the truth. plus the shit that bush and his admin. say are alot more rediculous than anything colbert tends to say, cause he tends to be joking
 
rearranging the cabinet: not a good metaphor...this admin. is soaring...more like rearranging the chairs on the Hindenberg. prime material.
