The best 5 minutes about the Stimulus you'll ever watch.

1. Scenting the halls of congress! LMAO!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

2. Stephen Colbert

was really on a roll here - reminded me of his great bit a few years ago dissing the hell out of Bush right in front of him. National Press Club?

16. White House Correspondents' Dinner

I bought the DVD, and still watch it to give myself a lift. :)

[joeunderdog]

22. where? nt

[kimmylavin]

23. Where, what?

Where did I buy it, or where do I watch it? :)

I got the DVD from C-SPAN, right after it happened.
I also have the audio-only version, which you can get for about $1.50 on audible.com.
Plus you can YouTube the thing all over the place.

25. Proof that this man has BALLS!

Just like he told us in promo ads before his program even premiered, years ago.

He and the show's writers are such a brilliant team of political satirists.

[malaise]

3. It was brilliant

:rofl:

[4 t 4]

4. Outstanding!

the writing on that show is pure genius. The way they put everything in perspective is hilarious

[Richard D]

5. And here I was . . .

. . . worrying that comedians wouldn't have enough material during the Obama years.

[tridim]

6. Seems like Hannity is providing most of Jon's new material now

I must admit I was worried about the future of TDS. Not any more. :)

[AwakeAtLast]

7. +1

:rofl:

:hi:

[Gin]

8. the part about them refusing to take a dime of the stimulus

should be in an ad.....you vote no...you get none.

[nichomachus]

10. Not only should it be in an ad

it should be part of the stimulus. The bulk of the money should go to districts whose reps supported the bill. We can assume that if someone voted against it, they don't want the money. If any citizens complain, refer them to their rep for an explanation.

9. Is it posted on YouTube?

That's the only place my computer will let me watch videos. :cry:

[Laurab]

13. Probably not - Comedy Central/Viacom sued YouTube

anything from there that gets put on usually gets taken down really fast. The only good thing that came out of that was that CC started offering whole shows and bits of shows on their own website - with commercials, of course.

[Prophet 451]

17. Same here

Because I'm a Brit, I can't watch Colbert on his site. I can't watch full episodes of the Daily Show either, just clips.

[ohtransplant]

11. K&R

The DNC could use this as an ad spot in key congressional districts.

LMAO!

[City Lights]

12. Great stuff!

Thanks for posting!

Recommended.

[Laurab]

14. It WAS brilliant! K&R

It really made the repugs look like the idiots they are, and I think his idea about them refusing to take the money for their districts was great!

[Lorien]

15. That was great! I think that we should insist that repugs that voted against

it reject every dime for their districts!

[Az_lefty]

18. Couldn't agree more...enough with the grand standing and hypocrisy

from these phony publicans.

[intheflow]

19. Bookmarking for later.

Apparently my employer doesn't believe I'd ever have a professional reason to have Flash installed on my office pc. Of course, in this case, he'd be right in assuming I'd abuse the privilege. :P Oh well, I'll watch it at home tonight.

[SergeyDovlatov]

20. I didn't get the part about gesture and scalia. What it is about?

[gratefultobelib]

21. Google "Scalia obscene gesture."

[Cha]

24. I saw that the other

night..I was in :rofl:
