Stephen Colbert made a great speech at the White House Correspondents' dinner on Saturday.
All I can say is that if you haven't seen this routine, you need to. My particular favorite zinger:
"I mean, nothing satisfies [the White House Correspondents]. Everybody asks for personnel changes. So the White House has personnel changes. Then you write, 'Oh, they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.' First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring -- if anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!"
Colbert certainly has... guts... to be able to give the delivery he did with President Bush less than six feet away.
And perhaps of more interesting note, the New York Times completely omitted Colbert's sharp performance at the event, which also included a performance by a Bush lookalike. Perhaps Colbert was hitting too close to home with certain lapdogs of the Administration?
