Thank You Stephen Colbert

Update: YouTube has pulled all the videos of the speech, citing copyright infringment. Yet, coverage of the same event last year has stayed up, and the videos of Bush from the same conference are up too. Coincidence?

Here is great coverage from BoingBoing.


Stephen Colbert. What a guy. Went up in front of all the Whitehouse big-wigs and told them to shove it... with all of his praise of Bush (what a brilliant shtick)

Want to say thanks, Stephen? So far 32,789 other people have. Hah!

Plus, his good buddy John Stewart had some kind words:

"It was balls-alicious," Stewart said. "Apparently he was under the impression that they'd hired him to do what he does every night on television" -- that is, make fun of conservatives, public officials, and the press in the guise of an O'Reillyesque talk show host.

"We've never been prouder of him, but HOLY ----," Stewart added.

He also described the annual dinner as "where the President and the press corps consummate their loveless marriage."
