The Colbert Presidential Report


Stephen Colbert roasted President Bush and clowned on, basically, everyone else at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last Saturday night. I'm a fan of Colbert's since his days on the "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" but even more so now. Here's just some of the things that got me slapping my knee:
"Everyone asks for personnel changes, so the White House has personnel changes and everybody's like, oh, they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. First of all, that's a horrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg."
"I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."
"Fox [News] believes in presenting both sides of the story — the president’s side and the vice president’s side. I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational argument. I call it the No Fact Zone. Fox News, I own the copyright on that term."
"When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday-no matter what happened Tuesday."
You can watch it all here, here, and here. Oh yeah, President Bush did this skit with Steve Bridges, the Bush impersonator, that was pretty funny too.
