[CatWoman]

4. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Tuesday_Morning]

50. Comedy Central has a form...

http://www.comedycentral.com/help/questionsCC.jhtml

Show Colbert some love.

[BrklynLiberal]

58. Thanks. I was looking for away to get some feedback to Colbert.

[Grateful for Hope]

8. He was excellent

I am feeling a little newvous for him,though. I can't believe he had the courage to say some of the things he said (the photo op remark was particularly brazen (and so true!)).

[CatWoman]

11. bwahahahahaha

I spit out my wine when he razzed Chimpy on that!!

[AlCzervik]

2. my god now we know for sure conservatives didn't get the concept of the

The Colbert report. That was brilliant.

[TomInTib]

13. "rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg"...

and he gave Helen her great big moment.

And Pickles was a bitch.

[AlCzervik]

16. god damn he's got huge balls!! I know that from my gut.

[TomInTib]

24. This one has to be...

ah, hell, words just fail me.

They never saw it coming.

And Colbert jammed it, sideways.

[Gabi Hayes]

25. amazing! and that joke went over like a.......

come on, help me out here

I couldn't BELIEVE he said that

wonder if anybody in the media will comment on THAT reference

[autorank]

33. Right, I was tranced out at points until I noticed that he planned it all!

The guy is a genius. Helen, Colbert, Clooney all stay behind and work the room.

Quite a scene. What a great comment about the two geneals being the only ones who
support Rummy.

"Stop loss for generals to keep them from speaking out...
They're fit enough to stand on a bank of computers and order men into battle."

He won't be back.

[Zen Democrat]

40. I don't think anyone ever repeats as headline entertainer.

I've been watching this thing for as long as C-Span has carried it, and it's always a new headliner. Great that Colbert got it done tonight.

[Libby2]

3. Stephen was wonderful

you knew he was hitting where they live too.

[Nitrogenica]

5. Wow! That was great! Was that speech approved by the

White House? OMG I never laughed so hard in my life. Stephen Colbert gets a brass balls award for that one.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

39. White House doesn't get to 'vet' the material for this. But I bet they

wish they did.

[knowbody0]

6. the bravest two ameriKans

[autorank]

10. That's for sure. Colbert is still there shaking hands with Thomas. * is

gone, quickly.

[CatWoman]

12. First thing he did was hug and kiss Helen

[autorank]

26. Yep, she and he "conspired for comedy" but it's just "coincidence"

Hey CatWoman, here's my cat!

[CatWoman]

34. awwww

look at that sweet baby

[autorank]

56. All part of the tiny "left wing consnpiracy." Colbert is an uber mench;)

[graywarrior]

7. Unbelievable!!

[TomInTib]

9. "no matter what happened on Tuesday" and Pickles is a bitch.

She looked totally pissed.

[Berserker]

17. It was a

great in your face ass kicking thanks Colbert you said to their face what we dream of saying you lucky bastard.

[Olney Blue]

37. Was the pickles sour?

[Zen Democrat]

41. Pickles looked strange tonight. Awful hair, etc.

[TomInTib]

51. Yeah, that was weird.

Even more detached than usual.

Just really, really weird.

[WiseButAngrySara]

14. I almost thought I was dreaming! I was worried at first that people

wouldn't understand his humor, and believe that he was such a B* supporter, but it came out strong and clear how despised/disdained B* is by Colbert! B* is not a happy camper!

[DanCa]

15. Helen gave Stephen a smooch when he left the podieum

Hey how did Colbert manage to get invited to the thing. Thats what I can't figure out.

[NightOwwl]

I think they thought he was the character he plays on TV...

Little did they know....

[julialnyc]

20. Nobody checks facts in this administration

the conversation probably went like this: "so we hear Steven Colbert is the hot new program". okay sign him up

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

23. Because the Bushite's in the White House Correspondents

Association really thought Colbert was a Bushbot..

I have to watch the replay of this. It's incredible....

[DanCa]

28. Let me know when he's on again.

Damn my cynicism I thought that this was going to be a Bush love fest so I missed it.

[WiseButAngrySara]

35. It's on now! I almost missed it too for the same reason. Colbert was

superb!

[Zen Democrat]

44. Oh man, it was never a love fest ... from the beginning.

The award given to the top reporters this year was to the guy who broke the Duke Cunningham story. When Bush had to stand for pictures and a smile with those guys I thought I'd choke! It went down for him from there.

[immoderate]

45. The press runs this, not the White House.

--IMM

[Ksec]

18. Just saw it

He and Helen were excellent.

[coffeenap]

19. THE BRAVEST PERSON IN THE MEDIA! OMG!

I am scared for his safety, but he did the most amazing thing we have seen in the last 5 years.

[Mr_Spock]

32. I totally agree!!

Colbert has bowling balls for balls!!

[C_U_L8R]

21. Shock and Awe Baby !!!!

That was a brutal dose of shock and awe...
right in der fuhrer's face.

Zowie !!

[RepublicanElephant]

22. please tell me someone's got a video link!

this is history!

[CatWoman]

29. CSPAN will replay tonight

and they are sure to archive it.

[Gabi Hayes]

30. there will be, and it's being replayed...this is one for the ages

it does two things...

it unmasked Bush as what he is, a shameless, empty, photo-opping self-promoter

and

it unmasks the media, parTICularly the WH press corpsE, as nothing but a humorless bunch of self-protective shills, who cannot STAND to see the truth told on THEIR TURF

and this thread needs several more recommends to get on the main page

thanks for posting

[LiviaOlivia]

27. I second that emotion!

He was Daniel in the lion's den.

[Mr_Spock]

31. Colbert kicked the ever lovin' shit out of Bushco!!

It was utterly amazing!!

[hopeisaplace]

36. These threads are killing me! I need a link to see this...

damn, it sounds awesome

[CatWoman]

38. turn on CSpan

the replay just began

Colbert is on at the end - in about an hour.

[hopeisaplace]

42. thanks, I'm in Canada though...and I don't get CSPAN, although

sometimes, when our politics isn't on..I've seen CSPAN on the
politics channel...so I'll check on it just in case.

[CatWoman]

43. then view it online once it is archived

www.c-span.org

[JI7]

46. can someone start a thread when Colbert will come on again at the replay

possibly a few minutes before so we can have time. i don't want to watch the whole thing, just him.

[hopeisaplace]

53. thanks as well :)

[ima_sinnic]

48. you can watch online at cspan.org (nt)

[hopeisaplace]

52. thank you :)

[chookie]

47. I won't be able to sleep tonight!

It was an exhilarating experience watching my man conquer Amerika.

[babylonsister]

49. I'm about to watch it over again - it was THAT GOOD! nt

[killbotfactory]

54. This is so hilarious

and uncomfortable!

Who want's to bet people have to remind Bush he can't order Colbert's death?

[Jim Sagle]

55. He can't?

We'll see.

[TankLV]

59. Colbert said that in so many words during his routine!

About how bunkerboy should just "bump him off" (regarding somebody else).

Another priceless moment.

[BigBearJohn]

57. God I wish I were a fly in the limo driving Boosh home after the dinner

I'd love to have heard his comments.

I hope Colbert's tax returns are in order.

[deutsey]

60. But he was just a comedian.

I'm with you, Catwoman. What Colbert did was brilliant, biting satire right in the face of the most powerful aristocratic assholes in this country.

[CatWoman]

61. Hey Deuts

Make my funk da P-funk!!!!!



This thread made the Huffington Post!!!!

[Swamp Rat]

62. Ob panem et circense ibi Stevius Colberus vitam impendere vero-iness!

[opihimoimoi]

63. For the night ,....Steve was THE PRESIDENTIAL WHISPERER

He laid the Prez bare nekkid and people were shocked and awed into the Silence of the lambs...
