Much has been said here at the DU of Colbert’s performance at last night’s WH Correspondent’s Dinner, but perhaps the true barometer of his success is what our friends at the Free Republic thought of it.
A day in the life of President Bush (4/29/06): photos & live thread for WH Correspondents' Dinner)http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1623881/posts?q=1&&page=1#1__________________________________________________________________________________
Colbert's calculated "act" was a Bush-bashing, say-it-in-the-President's-face attack. His intention was to embarrass and humiliate the President knowing that he had a captive audience. It was contemptible!

About 20% of the country is in that camp. That's it. I'd be surprised if anyone outside that 20% fringe left group really thought there was anything funny about that sick performance last night.

This was a very thinly disguised, hate-filled Liberal attack! I'll say it again, this left me fuming!

He wasn't trying to be funny. He was taking the opportunity of being face to face with one of the greatest, kindest, most loving men on earth to shoot arrows of evil at him. In stead of being angry with Colbert last night, I should have been praying for the spiritual protection of the President and First Lady.

We concluded that only leftists who hate the President and think anything nasty said about him, regardless of how stupid it was, could think Colbert was funny last night. And anyone who says that was funny on this forum is on my 'list' as well.......

The disrespect shown to President and Mrs. Bush tonight goes beyond anything I have ever seen. I felt sick inside during some of the remarks. President Bush was trying to be a gentleman and I felt like Tony Snow or someone up there should have told Colbert to get off.

All I can honestly say after a night like this is.....the only good democrat is a dead one! And any Republican that does not support our president is just as bad if not worse. I love President Bush! Anyone that claims to be a Christian and votes democrat is a liar!
