Stephen Colbert does an incredible job of addressing, with cutting humor, many of the social ills wrought by the Bush presidency, and in the presence of the mighty 32% man, no less. He also makes a few wicked jabs at the press corp. It’s fun to laugh from the safety of your home, especially when you see the way the audience and the Prez are sweating it out. Colbert ends by presenting a spoof audition tape of himself for the job of Press Secretary, co-starring the great Helen Thomas.
Thanks to Worst Weather Ever for hooking me up.
It’s great that critics are claiming how “no one laughed” (even though many did); it goes to show how nervous pro-administration folks are when their bullshit comes back to bite them in the ass in the form of comedy.
