I saw it and personally thought it was a bit flat. He was brave saying those things in front of the president, but he could have done more with it. And that "press secretary audition tape" was just lame. But still, at least he didn't completely compromise himself like Jon Stewart did at the Oscars.

Yeah, pretty flat. He seemed to be pulling his punches. What's this about Stewart and the Oscars? Guess that's what I get for ignoring everything. 'Compromised?' , now that sound interesting. Anybody know where I can find a vid of that?

By 'compromised' I just meant he wasn't nearly as witty and to-the-point as he usually is. I didn't watch all of it, but from what I did see I thought he was trying quite hard not to be too controversial, and controversy is something one would expect from Stewart.
His comments about it the day after:
Oldskool Stewart. Oh the irony (guess what he'd be doing 11 years later):

Yeah, that's brave, ripping the head off the prez and crapping down his neck like that. In public, no less. It was NOT supposed to be funny! Now THAT'S funny. Bush is being set up for impeachment show trial later this year, when the Dem tag team moves back into Congress. That's funny, too.
Was it last year when Laura Bush made EVERYBODY laugh, when she confessed boy George masterbates male horses?

Happy Commie May Day, and birthday of the Bavarian Illuminati, and Satanic Beltane. That's why the massive criminal alien riots are scheduled today. No attempt by millions of copsters to arrests those criminals and deport them, as the New World Odor guts USA.

And I was scheduled for indictment by Grand Jury today, for a 5mph traffic ticket for the crime of safe driving, but I fought The Law and The Law LOST, with court costs paid by Gangsta Govt. Now THAT'S FUNNY! I'm sure my brother's glad the TV news isn't announcing his brother's indictment as voters go to the polls to vote for him for judge.

At any rate, the moral of the story is that the illuminati gave Colbert the green light to crucify Jr Bush. This reshapes the brains of the sheeple, to prepare them for the first successful conviction of a US president via impeachment, as castrated USA falls into its last Civil War.
There is no news. There's the truth of the signal. What I see. And, there's the puppet theater... the Parliament jesters foist on the somnambulant public.

The Truth and the "no fact zone". Stephen aimed to misbehave that's for sure.

I think he was perfect. I don't understand the criticisms of him being flat or watering himself down. He wasn't doing a lecture, he was there as a comedian...
but all of his remarks were biting, none of them were without a specific political reference, or implication. And yeah, people didn't do that much laughing, because they were the ones he was scolding. He took this opportunity to call out the main-stream media. He took this opportunity to tell Bush what he and many of us think about him and his policies.
And those of you who don't think it was appropriate, because I expect that to be the next talking-point about comedy and dinners you are invited to,I'll attempt to preempt your argument.
it isn't appropriate to be a President of our nation and not provide forums for people and the press to talk to you. This President has less press conferences than any previously. It isn't appropriate to insulate yourself like our president has from hard questions by screening his town hall meetings of democrats, or people with the wrong bumper-sticker on their cars, etc.
If nobody should have said these things there, where could they have said them? Shout them from their free speech zones?
For those of you who think that comedy is supposed to be 'funny', not 'serious',
that's a complete lack of understanding of what comedy is. That's slapstick. Comedy is funny because it is about truth, because it is about things uncomfortable that nobody is saying, or saying the way you can. Colbert was damned funny that night.

That was great, not as funny as it could have been (the film ran too long...) but WOW, did he make his point!!!
The funniest part was W's face as he took it in.
Thanks to Mr. Colbert, who might try using an encrypted cell phone from now on, he'll be watched.

Colbert was VERY controversial,and that's why his 'jokes' fell so flat w/ the audience. This was suppose to be funny, not over the top scathing. It's a wonder that Bush stuck around for so much of this act. Gee Steven, how about a few jokes aimed toward the PRESS ??
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss
