2. You're welcome to your opinion

But instead of choosing me to attack personally, be sure and post this in ALL the Colbert threads.

Just to be "Fair And Balanced."

Have A Good Night bluestateguy. I usually enjoy your posts.

9. Why are you spamming every thread........

if you don't want to read "Colbert" threads than just ignore them. Why be a complete jerk and spam every thread just because you don't like Stephan Colbert? I just don't understand the logic here, maybe you could explain it to me. Posting on every thread you hate just to let us all know you hate them. Take a nap.

[Seabiscuit]

63. "Name Removed" sure has been making the rounds lately. :0)~

It must be miserable to be that bored with oneself.

[lonestarnot]

89. name removed tombstoned yet?

[Seabiscuit]

98. I have no idea.

[Kierkegaard]

5. Personally,

I didn't find it funny at all. I don't think it was intended to be funny. It looked to me like an all-out personal 'tribute' to a failed, unelected moron of a President.

[Memory Container]

15. If by 'tribute', you mean

'pointing out just how awful this pResident is', then you are correct.

If on the other hand you don't get Colbert's genius... I'm sure someone can explain.
He was bold, unashamed, and put monkey-boy in a very bad mood.

Good.

[Kierkegaard]

I need no explanation.

His motive was pretty obvious...

[Memory Container]

21. ???

What do you think Colbert's motive was?

[Kierkegaard]

25. You're kidding, right?

[Memory Container]

26. Do you really, actually think

Colbert was praising Bush?

[0007]

56. The toilet has many Memory Container's

[Mr_Spock]

37. I was in tears watching Colbert thrash the ever lovin crap out of Bushco

How could you not find that funny?

[Kierkegaard]

54. I enjoyed the thrashing thoroughly!

The tragedy was in the truth of Colbert's words. I guess I would describe it as bittersweet.

[Mr_Spock]

69. I'll give you that

I had a bit of an upset feeling along with the giddiness.

The reality of NSA, Faux "news", "fact" as a myth are all realities we have to live with. We really are living in a dream.

[converted_democrat]

44. Satirically challenged?

[Minnesota Libra]

7. The Colbert report and this video weren't supposed to be simply...........

....funny for the sake of being funny. It was meant to be funny in a sarcastic way and in that sense he was spot on.

If you don't want to see anything else about Colbert why are you reading it??

[Supersedeas]

110. Exactly

[wizdum]

17. He's exercising his first amendment rights in a way that is astonishing

That's the point, isn't it? Who cares about whether or not it's funny. It's all true and he is getting away with blasting the president and the press right to their faces without winding up in Gitmo or some other secret prison. What he is doing is tremendously courageous and vitally important. And thank God he has the courage and opportunity to do it. I don't think he'll be getting any more invites to anymore White House Press Corespondent dinners. He is probably too bold in his exercise of free speech. I salute him and am very grateful to him for what he's done for us all.

[helderheid]

34. Well said.

[wizdum]

113. Thank you

[zanne]

39. Agreed. I loved the nervous laughter. nt

[wizdum]

115. The reporters seemed quite embarrassed to be called out publicly at such...

a high profile function. I thought it was magic. Dubya, his cronies, the press, and so many of the corrupt pols that were there had it coming. I am elated that Colbert let them have it with both barrels. dubya is a treasonous bastard.

[AwakeAtLast]

51. Hi and welcome to DU!

I think you will fit in quite well here.

[AwakeAtLast]

52. Self-delete

[wizdum]

112. Hi

Thanks for the warm welcome, WakeMeUp.

I enjoy posting here with other kindred spirits. I am having a difficult time tolerating the criminal government and their fascist dictates at the moment, and I am at my wits end with this war. Hopefully, Bush will get impeached if his numbers continue to plummet.

[Heidi]

4. Loved it! Kicked and recommended!

[herbbrown]

6. Great Post thanks for the link

Only fools don't understand the Colbert performance and the courage it took, some here really have no clue!

[Memory Container]

16. Even so...

It's sad that the only real journalists left have to use juxtaposition gimmicks to get the message out.

[linazelle]

19. Hey whatever works. It got him invited didn't it?

[tavalon]

23. Of course it is

It is very sad that the Vanguard of our truthtellers are a Current Daily Show anchor and an alumni from the same show. That said, they are awfully funny. It makes the medicine go down just a bit easier.

[spooky3]

36. Remember that Colbert is not a journalist--he's a comedian.

[flyarm]

47. AND ISN'T IT A DAMN SHAME AND A DISGRACE THAT A COMEDIAN

has more integrity and truth.. than any of the journalists who were sitting in that room, barring one dear lady HELEN THOMAS!

and that was his point as well..that Helen Is the only journalist among them all!

how telling that it takes comedians in this country to tell the truth..
that we have to watch COMEDY CENTRAL TO GET REAL FUCKING NEWS!...and truth!


what a disgrace that the people in that room who call themselves journalists and the real jokes!

fly

[spooky3]

78. that's my point too. And I think The Daily Show deserves

credit for showing the way. Jon S. was actually the one who confronted "journalists" to their faces first, but SC has definitely blazed the trail even further.

I wonder if Robin Williams had a hand in helping them write SC's lines for this event. He was on The Daily Show recently and I have a feeling that a lot of people brought some ideas to the table.

[eleny]

88. I put satirists in a different category from other comedians

What they do takes a different path and leads us to a different place. And as a satirist, he did his job ripping off masks to reveal the truth.

[gulliver]

105. I agree. It had a sort of Strangelove feel.

Funny, but aggressive with the truth. He was sarcastically congratulating and praising Bush and the "journalists" for their fakeness and incompetence.

[checks-n-balances]

66. NO, I read that he's also had on-camera experience w/local broadcast news

as well as perfecting his comedic chops through live improv.

So he's both - besides also being intellectually gifted and endowed with muchos huevos grandes!

[spooky3]

77. I'm talking about his current job, as hosting a show on Comedy

Central. He is not currently in a role as a journalist and should not be held to journalists' standards (same with Jon Stewart). That's what makes it all the more remarkable that he (and Jon Stewart) are the ones doing the jobs the journalists should be doing.

But sorry to be unclear about that. And thanks for the info on his background--do you recall where you read it? His Wikipedia entry talks about his being involved in Improv when he was at college, and describes a career in comedy and acting. I didn't see anything else there about journalism but Wikipedia isn't perfect as we all know. The closest it comes is that he was on Good Morning America for a short time but it doesn't say in what capacity. It also says he's not French .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert

[checks-n-balances]

96. I stand corrected and I must have just dreamt that instead!

Here's the article I THOUGHT had that info in it -

"The Truly Serious Appear on 'The Colbert Report'":
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-humor27...

SORRY, you were right & I stand corrected, although when I found this article again, I cracked up at this part:

"...when George Stephanopoulos visited the program, his host politely inquired if ABC's short-statured chief Washington correspondent needed to sit on a telephone book in order to reach the table..."

LOL!

[Breeze54]

97. He's a writer...

...and a comedian.

SNIP-->

'The Colbert Nation'
http://www.colbertnation.com/colbertnation/colbert.jhtm...

Stephen graduated in the top 47 percent of his class at Dartmouth, where he majored in history and performed with the all-male a cappella group The Sing Dynasty. (Another famous Sing Dynasty alum? Actor Stacy Keach!)

After college, Stephen took a year off to travel around the world. He went everywhere: England, Ireland, Scotland…even Wales. That's when he developed a love of journalism because he kept a journal of his travels. What I wouldn't give to read Stephen's thoughts!

When Stephen returned to the States in 1987, he decided he had a lifelong passion for news, so he took a job as a fact checker at the Richmond Times-Dispatch. He wowed his editor when he single-handedly exposed the largest mail-fraud scam in Virginia state history.
Stephen still doesn't trust the U.S. Postal Service to this day.
(Snail mail is for suckers, anyway!)

Thanks to his new acclaim as a man of the people, Stephen was quickly snapped up by Richmond's WVBX-TV news, where he spent three years as a field reporter. He was voted "Sexiest Local Newscaster of 1989" by Virginia Living magazine and raised almost $600 at a charity bachelor auction.
Best of all, the woman who cast the winning bid is now Mrs. Stephen Colbert! (Lucky lady!)

Before long, Stephen was being courted by another type of suitor: mid-market television stations.
He finally settled on Raleigh, North Carolina's WKJC Channel 5 News, where he worked the state capital beat for seven years.
In that time, North Carolina tourism numbers rose by 9 percent.
Way to go, Stephen!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd say he's had a hand in journalism!

[converted_democrat]

42. The point though is that the message is out.. No one has called * out

like that ever.. It was amazing..

[robinlynne]

84. But the point is, he got the message out.

Noone else in that room, save for Helen had the guts to speak the truth.

[ljsullivan1166]

107. Actually, there was someone else in that room with the guts to speak the

truth -- Joe Wilson. It got his wife outed.

[Memory Container]

108. No...

Criminals are what 'got his wife outed'.

[robinlynne]

109. oh yes!

[C_U_L8R]

8. Subvert the Media - Pass it on !!!

Just caught MSNBCs coverage of the event...
they are focusing on Chimpy's cheesy and unfunny doppelganger
and ignoring Colbert. Let show them that we KNOW better
and make Colbert's video the hottest piece of passalong video
ever to grace the Internets !!!! Send it to all your pals.

[robbedvoter]

10. Right on! Passing along! K&R

[robbedvoter]

11. Thanks for posting this!

Nothing wrong with getting excited about something good for a change.
I lived trough the rape threads and the kerry would have told us it was stolen but the briefs were't proofed and after that.....
I cen read as many Colbert, Fitz, Rush arrest threads as you can post. DU is fun again! yeay!

[Mutley]

12. Well, *I* thought it was hilarious.

Thanks TheWatcher for posting it.

[Theres-a]

13. K ick

[wizdum]

14. Wow! What courage. Colbert called everyone out. He's the man!!!

What a stinging rebuke and painfully truthful presentation. It really covered all the bases and laid out the treachery of the President and Vice President full on, as well as the complacency of the press and their collusion with the administration on the war. He also nailed that one sided propaganda machine, Fox news and he even hammered the American public for their inaction. Colbert is a hero for this -- that was one the gutsiest exercises of free speech I've ever seen. Bush got up to shake his hand at the end, which surprised me since Colbert just made of fool of him and the press collectively without batting an eye for almost a half hour. Bush is too stupid to realize when he's being called out. I loved the way Colbert laid everything out on the table, and let the chips fall where they may. Astonishing!!! He even blasted the pols for corruption and accelerating global warming. It was a masterpiece and a badly needed breath of fresh air. The people should bestow a medal of honor on him for true patriotism.

[NJCher]

18. Thank you, Watcher!!

A big hug from me to you 'cuz this was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life! I was literally in tears at the end when HT made yet another appearance

This is what genius looks like. Sheer genius at work, combined with courage.

I am a Colbert fan for life!!




Cher

[quispquake]

29. Unbelievable

For those of you who think stuff like this doesn't matter...

I just watched this (Thanks AGAIN for posting this!!!) with my 14 year old son...he's grown up since 9 with his country being run by these fascists, and people having to 'watch what they say'. He was laughing hysterically, and kept saying "I can't believe he got away with this".

So, for those who think it didn't matter...it matters a LOT...MANY people have rarely seen REAL exercises of free speech since the *'s clamped down...Colbert was amazing...and the Helen Thomas thing at the end had us both on the floor.

Kudos Colbert!!!

[Clark2008]

46. Colbert better not fly in any small planes, soon, is all I can say.

eom

[Swamp Rat]

102. Join the club!

[NewJeffCT]

20. Thanks for posting

I will have to watch it.

[robbedvoter]

22. Ha!Ha! Has the Pickles glare and W pat on the back at the end

Also, I watched for the applause. There were aplemty - then someone touched the Gannon - I mean the volume button - and you heard less. By the time he turned on the press, they quieted down considerbly.

[babsbunny]

24. You have made my day!

He is an American (brave) Hero!!!!!!!!

[tavalon]

27. Thanks

I just watched it again. Damn, that ain't gonna get old. Before last night, I thought of Colbert as second fiddle to Jon Stewart, but no more, he is Jon's equal and I think they both come from a motivation that is purer than just getting the laughs, though laughs are good. This administration and this press corps is painful and laughter makes it hurt just a little less.

[liam_laddie]

111. Up there with Mark Twain, Will Rogers, Mort Sahl, IMHO

Stephen really cooked! He chopped, sliced, diced, pureed, ran them ALL through
a food processor, spread it out on the floor so we could see the mess, then
flushed 'em down the drain, where they (bushcorp AND fourth estate) belong.
Cultural/political critic-satirists will be hard-pressed to ever top this performance.
I wonder what hissy-bitchy Christopher Hitchens will have to say...but who cares?

[Ioo]

28. I just pee'ed a little

[YDogg]

30. Wonderful!

I especially enjoyed Colbert's take on the lapdog press.

That, and Helen Thomas rocks!

[the other one]

31. i can't stop laughing!!!

[Coloradan4Truth]

32. Very funny, but...

the pResident has still committed War Crimes and needs to go to Prison!

[converted_democrat]

33. That was the funniest thing I've ever watched EVER.. Thank you so

much for posting that!! Thank you, thank you, thank you...

[DemonGoddess]

35. thanks for posting!

I missed this when it was broadcast.....VERY VERY funny!

[Scout]

38. thank you, this is so great! n/t

[leesa]

40. Thanks for posting it. I watched most of that boring program last

night to see this. It was magnificent!

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

41. If anyone comes across a dialup friendly version, ideally to download

please could you post it, cheers.

Thanks 'TheWatcher' though -- I've send those links around to people I'd know would appreciate them.

[Clark2008]

43. Man!

He just busts the HELL out of EVERYONE, doesn't he?



I was actually embarrassed for Bush - seriously - and that takes a lot coming from me. I'm not complaining, mind you, but I guess, deep down, I still have respect for the Office of the President despite what this fuckwad has done to it, so it was a bit rattling to hear Colbert's "roast." Still, he was dead-on accurate.

And, fwiw, even though I don't stand for anything Scalia stands for, it was good to see that, in the least, he could laugh at himself, which is more than I can say for Shrub, who sat there looking like he smelled shit on his upper lip.

Thanks for posting this link. I was amazed.

[Hippo_Tron]

45. OMG Thanks so much

I missed it last night and I heard it was incredible. Watching it right now...

[Protagoras]

48. That was brutally funny, K/R

I can't believe he had the guts to take some of the shots he did. The crowd seemed to have a large pile of wood inserted somewhere thru half his act but he did a masterful job of nailing just about everyone in the room with "THE TRUTH". God I love Colbert! (And Helen Thomas)

[ebdarcy]

49. Thanks for the links.

I didn't get a chance to see it last night. That was absolutely wonderful.

[lonestarnot]

50. OMG! bushitler would have liked to have shot him in the face I'm sure!

And those repuke faces! PRICELESS!

[derby378]

53. It wasn't just Nero who got his ass handed to him...

...it was the MSM journalists in attendance. Someone in the blogosphere commented that Colbert didn't just skewer the media, he indicted them.

Brilliant!!

[AwakeAtLast]

55. Thanks so much for the whole video

I think it wil be studied as a textbook case of true satire. He was so believable in his "praise" statements. I am positive Bush was eating those parts up and didn't notice the barbs afterwards. Colbert definitely nailed it!

[Paula Sims]

57. After seeing the movie V, I had a bizarre feeling last night . . .

First of all, thanks for the link to the clip. I can't wait to have my Colbert friends see it. It truly was priceless, and as a true motley fool (original meaning intended) -- in laughter there is truth.

I did get a weird sense of Deja-Vu watching it and remembering the movie V. For those who haven't seen it, there's a part where a comedian lambastes the current regime and eventually gets arrested Nazi style, a la Cabaret.

That wouldn't happen here. . .would it???


Paula

[lonestarnot]

61. better damn not or I will riot!

58. that was beautiful

Colbert outed them all in public.

[SammyWinstonJack]

59. OUCH! Brilliant!

Oh to be privy to the little Bully's thoughts during that bit of brilliance. I'll bet he was on a slow burn.

[NewJeffCT]

60. "We all know reality has a liberal bias!"

I think I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard sometimes.

[undeterred]

62. John McCain- a real maverick

Somebody tell me which fork he used to eat his salad!

[Seabiscuit]

64. Clicking on the links you provided took me to a porn site!

Video - Stephen Colbert At The White House Correspondents Dinner

FLY

[goddess40]

116. Thanks

I missed it the first time around - I can't bring myself to look at that a-hole squatter in the White HOuse.

[Midlodemocrat]

67. That second clip was LOL funny.

Helen Thomas was awesome.

[CoffeeCat]

68. Did anyone notice the look on Laura's face when Colbert...

...walked past her.

She looked very unhappy...snippy, some might say.

Ha!!!

I laughed so hard.

He thrashed Junior, seven ways to Sunday.

[lonestarnot]

73. see #72.

[yellerpup]

70. What a brilliant monologue.

BEST EVER! Colbert rules.

[IronLionZion]

71. I got distracted by the other videos on that site

but Cobert was a riot. The truth really is funnier than fiction!

[lonestarnot]

72. Oh yeah baby... had not seen this until now! OMG, my stomach is

killing me! old queenie needs some preparation H egh?

[Jade Fox]

74. MY GAWD!!!

No wonder people are freaking. Colbert stood next to the President and completely trashed his Administration and the idiot press supporting Bush.

Amazing. History in the making.

[YankeyMCC]

75. "...like boxing a glacier..."

because you're grandchildren will have no idea what a glacier is."

Colbert was excellent!

[Iniquitous Bunny]

76. Damn!

Colbert has some gonads! I'm too pissed at the Bush regime to laugh. I'm too angry at our media who have sat back silently and let these idiots take over our country gradually over the last 26 years until it has come to where we are now. I'm too disgruntled and pissed to feel feel much of anything but disgust and cynicism most of the time, but Colbert, you give me hope. Thank you!

[spuddonna]

79. LMAO!

There were so many awesome lines! Thank you, thank you!!!

[Beelzebud]

80. Any way to download these? I want to save them.

[Beelzebud]

81. It started with Bill Kristol on his show, and then this! WOW

He sat there, and completely destroyed them all. Oh. My. God.

Stephen Colbert = Greatest

[drfresh]

86. Holy crap. That took some courage.

I can't believe he did all that with Bush standing 12 feet away!

[Bushy Being Born]

82. Has anyone figured out how to capture this video and make it downloadable?

I can't watch this on my connection, it just keeps buffering every other second.

[Bushy Being Born]

83. I found the whole thing is up on Youtube.com!

Split up into three parts.

http://youtube.com/results?search=colbert&sort=video_da...

The good thing about Youtube.com is that you can pause until the whole thing is buffered, OR, download each video to your drive using this link for example:

http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

(It's really just a simple address change to download, but if you're not as savvy, that link is easier.)

[BrklynLiberal]

85. Thanks for this link.

[Bushy Being Born]

90. My only complaint with the Youtube version

is that it is cut off at the end before he passes Laura. I wanted to see when she gave him the evil eye!

[Bushy Being Born]

91. I just found a 400MB TV rip!

For those of you with a Demonoid torrent account, get it here:

For the rest of you, I'm positive it'll make the rounds on other sites too! Check mininova.org or similar.

Seeds: 625
Leechers: 1677

make that seeders:626!

TY!

[reprehensor]

95. Thanks!

Folks need to watch it and decide for themselves. I thought he was courageous and funny.

I would have been one of those people in the back laughing their asses off!

[dghll]

103. thanx for the link nt

[maveric]

87. How do I get "freevideowblog" to work.

I'm a tech-dunce and am asking for assistance. Please!!!!

[lonestarnot]

100. shit do you have windows media player?

[judaspriestess]

92. Wow!!

I love you Stephen you really have big big cajones!!

That was the BEST!! oh and the evil eye that poor excuse of a first lady gave SC was priceless, she looked like the lizard person she is.

Kudos to Helen Thomas too!!

[reprehensor]

94. Bitchin'

St. Stephen, we love thee.

[lonestarnot]

99. OMG I must watch again for the 15th time!

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

101. Many thanks. First time I saw it all.

I had seen and/or read it all.

That was so good, again.

There WAS a fair amount of laughter up to a point.

Maybe the point where he talked about Dub standing for things, and ON things like an Air Craft Carrier Deck.

And still some people were amused.

many were not

[frankly_fedup2]

104. I just wish they showed Bush's face more. I thought it was funny

and he was cutting the guy left and right as well as some of the press.

The part that I found confusing was why were Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame there? I thought the leak regarding her position had ruined her career? I just found their presence there a little strange???

[Ringo84]
