Bill Maher also did a very funny take on the Press Secretary thing Friday night. His audition tape was priceless. The furious look on bush's face spoke volumes. He looked like he wanted to explode...and the great thing is, there wasn't a fucking thing he could do about it. Seeing that frustration was great.

It was a dry, two-pronged attack, worthy of the most bitter of celebrity comedy roasts, that got overshadowed by a clown Bush impersonator who was not really as funny as the real clown Bush.

I hate the way he looks at the camera and points to the camera and shoots all around the room with his fingers. He was SAYING some funny things, but HE just isn't funny. He's too much like "LOOK AT ME! I'M BEING FUNNY!" for me to think he's funny.

I think its being treated to a "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" reaction from the MSM. They're pretending like it didn't happen, so no one will notice. What I loved so much about it was the fact that Colbert didn't even seem to be trying for laughs. It was more a humorous assault than comedy routine. He knew his laughs would come later when people no where near that room would see it. Any retaliation from the usual suspects will just add to his lustre. Attacking him will seem so un-cool. I even loved seeing our pear-shaped First Lady act like a bitch.

Poor widdle baby. *Quote:* Skewering comedy skit angers Bush and aides By Paul Bedard Posted 5/1/06 Related Links More from Inside Washington Comedy Central star Stephen Colbert's biting routine at the White House Correspondents Association dinner won a rare silent protest from Bush aides and supporters Saturday when several independently left before he finished. "Colbert crossed the line," said one top Bush aide, who rushed out of the hotel as soon as Colbert finished. Another said that the president was visibly angered by the sharp lines that kept coming. "I've been there before, and I can see that he is [angry]," said a former top aide. "He's got that look that he's ready to blow." Colbert's routine was similar to what he does on his show, the Colbert Report, but much longer on the topic of Bush, suggesting that the president is out of touch with reality. Aides and reporters, however, said that it did not overshadow Bush's own funny routine, which featured an impersonator who told the audience what Bush was thinking when he spoke dull speech lines. In fact, some aides crowed over reports that the president easily bested Colbert in the reviews of both comedy acts. www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/060501/1whwatch.htm At least Bush's little buddies at Fox News are coming to his rescue and bashing Colbert on air, calling him inappropriate and not funny. thinkprogress.org/2006/05/01/colbert-fox/

Psst, Mags--Strangers With Candy, watch Strangers With Candy, Colbert's a hoot in it.

You're only as ugly as we think you are. Good times.

I find it funny that everyone follows blindly along these liberal/conservative democrat/republican lines, like there's no going between or gray area. Colbert was funny but fell "flat" because he was at a White House sponsored event. Let's not kid ourselves that what he said was some sort of "liberal bias" when in fact everything he said was true...and it's funny to hear people say he bombed when I watched the video and heard a laugh after 90% of the jokes (especially coming from that audience.) It just speaks volumes about the amount of bullshit and lies some people willingly accept. Colbert called the press out on their laziness and now everyone is up in arms because they may actually have to produce. Still, listen to NPR.

This is why the Republicans will retain both the Senate and the House in November...and the white House in 2008. It boggles the mind! From Salon: A Democrat knocks Colbert, says Bush "deserves some respect" Vying for the Joe Lieberman Profile in Courage Award, Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer took it upon himself Tuesday to defend George W. Bush from mean ol' Stephen Colbert. Hoyer, the Democrats' House whip, told the Hill that Colbert's performance at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner was funny but "a little rough," with some jokes that "crossed the line" and were in "bad taste." We're not sure which jokes Hoyer had in mind, and we're wondering if he made any similar objections about "bad taste" when the president made jokes about those missing WMD at a press dinner a couple of years ago. Somehow, we doubt it. Bush "is the president of the United States," Hoyer said Tuesday, "and he deserves some respect."
