Colbert laffs at Bush

If you haven't already viewed the entire clip of Steven Colbert giving the keynote Washington Correspondents' address, the link will take you to a good download.

The first day after the event his piece was hardly mentioned in the mainstream media.
The second day after, it's mentioned negatively -- called "unfunny" by some, thus sparking a debate between those who think he was funny, those who think he wasn't funny. It's become a tussle. People are taking sides.

I thought, there's got to be a way to resolve this. If we had proof that people laughed, maybe we could make the case that indeed, Steven Colbert was funny.

Mr Zoe Washburn, er Fishburn laffs at Bush

(and McClellan's, and Scooter's and Bushes')

Colbert had the room on his side as much as one could reasonably expect. Hell, he got this out of Scalia by telling him to go "fuck himself." They were putty in his hands.

Scalia hunted his daughter with Cheney

What Would Jenna Do?
She'd take her panties off for Colbert and show you her Bush, of course! Just like Patti Reagan.

Pulling his punches? Are you kidding? Did you guys watch the same video I did? Who among us could stand within 20 feet of the President, loathsome, embarrassing and undeserving of respect though he is, and say such utterly mocking, disrespectful things? I agreed with Colbert, and I still winced at the Cheney "shoot me in the face" joke.

In front of a hostile audience, no less...

Yeah, you may be right. I think I was comparing his performance to Jon Stewart's rant on crossfire, which I enjoyed specifically because Stewart wasn't trying to be funny. He was trying to layout the ugly truth behind their little charade. Ostensibly, Colbert was there to entertain, so it was a different mood. Given that, his comments were biting, if not terribly original or funny.

One thing that kind of gnawed at me though, was that Bush didn't get pissed off. Seriously, would any self respecting person let someone say such consistently insulting things with out at least answering them? I dunno, I suppose Bush fans will try to say that shows humility. I think it shows that he's heard the criticism all along and doesn't give a shit. Bush just has this weird combination of smug arrogance and bubba-gump ignorance that is truly perplexing.

Regardless, I couldn't really get in a laughing mood considering how much damage Bush is doing to our country.

Yeah, that was disturbing, now that you mention it. I have always had the impression that he just doesn't understand a lot of what is going on around him. I guess he knew he was being insulted, but he didn't really know what to do about it. Perhaps if Karl Rove was whispering in his ear...

bubba-gump ignorance. I like it. It really captures the guy.

I wonder how much more laughter that same routine would have gotten from the same audience if the President hadn't been sitting there?

I watched a clip of Colbert and I loved it. I wouldn't approve of a comedian tearing down someone like Reagan or Bush I at a correspondents dinner, but Bush II is as bad as Nixon and is undeserving of any respect.

I wanna be Mr. Baccarin!
