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.

In a lot of other countries he would have been imprisoned or put to death. That fact makes it all the more entertainment.

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.

Ruthlessly brutal - ;love it. W is the biggest loser this country has ever had to endure. He will go down in history as the worst president of all time - total moron. Wish he'd torn Cheney a new one while he was at it. Rumsfeld can eat chit too.

Colbert is the Tony Stark of the real world!!

Oops... watching Obama 2013 Correspondent dinner, slipped into the nightmare that I had stop having two years ago... now with a fresh clip from memory lane,I'm going to need to start therapy all over again! Nothing worse than trying to get the devil face out of your dreams! I need to restrict my searches, to avoid all keywords such as George, W or BUSH.

UN: "Freedom of speech is granted unambiguous protection in international law by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which is binding on around 150 nations." only the rogue nations violate this..

And by the way, the US has LESS freedom than a handful of countries..I don't think you are in a position to judge freedoms coming from a country as regulated and policed as the USA

[Peter Michalski]

Europe, Most of South America, North America, some of Africa, Oceania, most of Asia..really only most of the Islamic countries and the undeveloped and war-torn african countries don't. Then a few here and there.

Don't be fooled by american brainwashing that tells you you are some beacon of freedom. That's just bs they use to control americans...

I never vote for Bush in the first place lol.

Well seeing as how they both held the same job title I'd say it's not unusual to compare the two. Are you seriously this ashamed that you voted for Bush?

[Frank Feliz]

Your logic is hilarious. Hey, the president made some mistakes. Sure lives were lost, as well as more money than we might ever make back. But that was ALMOST ten years ago, time for us to move on right?

You're a tool.
