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.

Stephen Colbert is a comic genius. Do people realize how incredibly talented you must be to stay in character, night after night, week after week, as he does on his show? His comic timing is ALWAYS PERFECT. I loved watching him make a complete fool out of Bill O'reilly... without ever breaking character. And I love watching him make a complete fool out of Bush in this.

Dick Cheney's aim ain't what it used to be.

I agree but I think that's just how he is all the time, I don't think he's in character, that's just who he is lol.

Brutal, just brutal. Maybe because I'm watching it in 2013, but no one laughed at his jokes and it wasn't funny. Worst WHPD keynote ever.

Democrats love Bush all they every talk about is "Bush."

[amoep]

That's sarcasm right.

Actually it was Clinton who deregulated banks....

Sometimes you have to smile. Have we had so much to smile about these days? I have. Our beach community is doing well. Thanks friends!

[Kimbo Baggins]

Hmm, you seem to not realise that we have been paying for the mistakes that Bush made during his term. It was his promotion of bank deregulation that led to the financial crisis.
