In case you missed it...Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central's "Colbert Report" (and formerly of The Daily Show) was asked to give a speech last Saturday at the
White House Correspondents Dinner. Bush and his wife and other administration officials were there as well as big time mainstream news people.
If you don't know, Colbert is a progressive...but comes over as a right-wing "thinker"...but that's his act...he doesn't lambast the right-wingers directly, he just talks like one of them and that is his critique. He's really great.
Well, at the speech he tore into Bush et al. and Bush had to sit there and take it...lips tight together and a red face, as has been reported. He did it deadpan all the way. The video of it is circulating like wildfire around the world and the transcript of it is online too.
The transcript appeared on Commondreams today and here's a link to it:

On the blog, Daily Kos, there are lots of comments about it. Here's it's link:
Daily Kos Look in the righthand column for appropriate links related to it.
Wow, Stephen has "big ones." The audience didn't like it much, but that's the fun of it, at least to me.
It's a longish read, but well worth your time. I hope you enjoy it. Commentary is welcomed.
