It's Stephen Colbert roasting Bush at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. It's quite funny.

Yeah, but he wasn't getting too many hardy guffaws from the audience. I couldn't imagine why...

Yes about a month ago. When it happened.

It was like watching junior get hit by a truck. In slow motion. Loved it.

The Helen Thomas clip was a classic.

Yeah, but he had the rest of America... certainly me... rolling out of our chairs with laughter.

He flopped with the media elites and became an instant star in the blogosphere, which is closer to his target audience anyway.

Colbert, in my opinion, second only to Phil Hartman as one of the funniest comedians at poking holes in pop culture and the political and famous egos that keep it afloat....almost.

R.I.P. Phil, we miss you buddy.

There seems to be something weird about this. You know, his charisma reminds me of a drill sergeant(seriously). Imagine he was just acting like he was roasting Bush? I mean, how the heck did he even get invited to the White House in the first place?

i think it's cool that bush can take criticism like that (although it was obviously planned) and laugh about it

Good point. After the disasterous appearance by Don Imus at a Clinton function you would assume the material would be pre-screened. After all, the guy's show is a PARODY of right wing talkers.
If they wanted sure-fire jokes they could have booked Ann Coulter.
