Colbert Does the White House Correspondents' dinner:

 

Stephen Colbert spoke tonight at the dinner and lampooned pretty much

everything he could think of and Helen Thomas. I used the second half

of his performance because it included the Generals, Scalia, the Faux

press briefing and as E & P reported:

 

" As he walked from the podium the president and First Lady gave

Colbert quick nods, unsmiling, and left. E & P's Joe Strupp, in the

crowd, observed that quite a few felt the material was, perhaps,

uncomfortably biting. "

" Colbert complained that he was " surrounded by the liberal media who

are destroying this country, except for Fox News. Fox believes in

presenting both sides-the president's side and the vice president's side. "

He noted former Ambassador Joseph Wilson in the crowd, as well as "

Valerie Plame. " Then, pretending to be worried that he had named her,

he corrected himself, as Bush aides might do, " Uh, I mean... Joseph

Wilson's wife. " He asserted that it might be okay, as prosecutor

Patrick Fitzgerald was probably not there.

 

Colbert's show on Comedy Central,

is " Must See TV " at this point already and these types of performances

are the toughest in the business to pull off when he's tackling issues

that obviously made most of the crowd nervous.

 

C-Span is running it again in it's entirety.
