Colbert Roasts Bush - 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner

http://drey.orgfree.com

In one of the ballsiest comic stunts ever pulled in Washington, comedian Stephen Colbert delivered a blistering "tribute" to President Bush at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner. It was so edgy and uncomfortable that it was almost too hard to watch, as a cold-faced and stunned Bush sat just a few feet away with the look of someone who had just been ambushed.

Acting the part of the faux conservative talk show host that he plays on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, Colbert spoke truthiness to power as he leveled an all-out assault on Bush under the guise of mock praise. He lampooned Bush over everything from his low approval ratings to his handling of Iraq to his vaunted stubbornness -- and got in a few shots at the Washington press corps as well.

Love Colbert, but I also thought Seth Meyers was hilarious. Trump needed the comeuppance.

[OcularPolitics]

@Puppybutcher yep, Seth brought the thunder... he was definitely excellent. :P

I love how 2006 was unique though, NEVER again will you see the Correspondents' Dinner just turn into a vicious presidential roast xD

I dont think I have ever seen a more clever and well delivered roast....

Best, most useful, constructive, poignant stand-up comedy ever. The one big highlight in an otherwise ugly, stupid and irresponsible 8 years .

Hope all is well in the Colbert camp. Us Texans have taken a lot of flack, and I am proud to have such a staunch defender. Gomert 2016!

Awesome! The story is that some out of touch old Republican fool in charge of organizing this was asked by assistants who to book; Senator Old Fool said Colbert, as he was supposed to be an up and coming pundit and very funny... No clue it was a comedy show! Apparently the wife and kids watched Stewart- Colbert and it al eluded Old Fool! Stewart later said " huge balls of pure heat treated Titanium. He was right!
