In three sentences, tell me what happened with Colbert.

[Cannikin]

I'd kind of like to know, but not bad enough to go into GD

[LeftyMom]

1. He spoke at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Some people thought he was funny. Dubya did not appear to be one of them.

[Cannikin]

3. Thank you, LeftyMom!

:pals:

[XemaSab]

2. He spoke at the WH Correspondant's Dinner

He FLAMED W in his comments, then showed a film of why he should be press secretary, the highlights of which were Helen Thomas repeatedly asking why we went to war with Iraq.

W did not look amused in the slightest.

[Cannikin]

4. I'm sorry I missed it. Is there video available?

[LeftyMom]

7. I'll go find the linkie

Watched the whole thing earlier today and it was a riot.

[ghostsofgiants]

17. Hahaha! That was great!

[ZombieNixon]

5. Correspondents' dinner.

Kicked ass. W pissed.

:D

[DanCa]

6. He ticked off George and his cronies

At the White House Correspondence Dinner. I am still trying to figure out if the crackerjack staff invited him by accident.

[mdmc]

8. here

12. You can read the comments

and they were pretty good.... his sense of comedic timing is a bit odd.... but the tape he showed was BRUTAL. Just BRUTAL.

After he ended the speech the C-SPAN cameras showed Helen Thomas wiping tears of laughter from her eyes and W sitting there trying not to look livid. Then Colbert went over to Thomas and the two of them were looking happy as clams while George and Laura got up and left as quickly as possible.

[jane_pippin]

15. Yeah, I know. I watched twice and taped it too.

That was nice to see. Helen, snubbed so long by George and his people gets to sit there, laugh her ass off at him, then get treated like a queen--well ok maybe not like a queen--but very warmly and respectfully by the guy that just tore George a new asshole. That was priceless in and of itself.

To good times. Or, bad times made less bad, at least. :toast:

[ok_cpu]

11. Here you go, James Ellroy style

Colbert talked shop. Colbert waxed ironic. Colbert on point while pins dropped.

[AwakeAtLast]

13. Laura was so pissed she wouldn't even stand or shake his hand.

Rude, rude, rude!!! :grr:

[sendero]

14. Ok...

....

Stephen Colbert spoke
Of America's winter
Bestowed by George Bush

[peekaloo]

16. He derided the Decider and those who enable him. To his face.

[Whoa_Nelly]

20. And * pretending to look for WMD at that 2004 fundraiser...

I keep thinking about that. Chimpy McFuckwad going for bucks and few laughs by pretending to look for WMD under furniture, making a total mockery of our troops and all the deaths both ours and Iraqi, knowing full well he lied. And he has the fucking audacity to be pissed when someone actually speaks the truth about him.

Asswipe in the WH doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but himself. He could care less that thousands have died because of his "gut" and Dog talking. :mad:

I hope what Colbert did has a positive effect on the MSM, and shame on those reporters who miss this opportunity.

So there! Hah! x(




Now I feel much better, thank you.

So much better that here's a photo of a house covered in license plates for you
(photo descrip called it Redneck Siding :rofl: )

[Mz Pip]

18. 32%

The glass is 1/3 full. But I wouldn't drink it. It's backwash.

Given the IQ of the 32% who still support this bozo, backwash is an apt description.

[derby378]

19. I can name that tune in six words

Colbert spoke. Bush scowled. Helen chased.

[Seabiscuit]

21. He drove an enormous flaming blimp up Shrub's arse.

[Robeson]

22. He went on stage. Exposed our fraudulent system. And sent those...

...he addressed, into denial.
