Colbert was brilliant! My boyfriend and I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Not only did he roast the president and the press, but he skewered them as well. This was one of the most memorable moments in TV history. A must see!
Some have been calling his performance distasteful, but that that just means that the truth about this administration, this war, the fourth estate is distasteful. Steven spoke truth to power through the medium of his art. Who gives a shit if George and Laura and the presstitudes were uncomfortable. I am uncomfortable every f**king day thinking about that Texas-sized a**hole ruining this country and killing and maiming countless people around the world.
Thank you Steven! From a new, dedicated fan.

We need more men that stand by truth!
I am honored to see an American that sees the naked Emperor and tells it like it truly is!
Where are the real men in America?

It’s about time someone did that-but I was kind of hoping it would come from a prosecutor ;-)
Thank you Stephen Colbert!

A millionaire-celebrity "speaks truth to power" at a White House Correspondent’s dinner?
Now THAT’S comedy!

Right.. because a person able to comically disassemble an entire administration automatically has his opinions made hypocritical and void once that very ability becomes well-known. Good logic there, Einstein.

The issue isn’t Colbert’s schtick...as if now the cat is out of the bag and he has to get a new job......it’s the fact that in front of the very Washington elite who are destroying the country Colbert was able to stand and mockingly state the truth to their faces as one of their own. Political satire and truth telling has never been so surreal and brilliant.

I caught the tail end of this roast on CSPAN. Saw the video of Colbert running away from Helen Thomas. I hope the plug isn’t pulled on CSPAN.

Colberts satirical spin punched a gapping hole in the Bushistas plans at trying to regain the ol’ good ol’ boy image...
How many more will die for the neocons? Anyone notice how the instigators are slowly dissappearing in the woodwork? Eliot Abrams? Richard Perle? Douglas Feith? The World Bank will never be the same, eh Mr. Wolfowitz?
How long before America wakes up and puts these traitors on trial?
Impeachment then prison,where they belong.

There will only be two ways out of it, and that is either a Dem-elect, or coup d’etat. Most government agencies are already split, internally politically driven, a mix of bureaucratic politics (i.e. self-revelling in the agencies’ methods, and an attempt to alter information to support the necessity of that agency and their positions) or reigning Republican overtones (such as in purposeful omissions and outright lies of information passed to the White House, with full knowledge that those omissions would lead to their dept being given expanded overseas operational capabilities. See - CIA).
Even if Dems do win the next election, the wheels are already spinning. Congress is basically ineffective as being a check-and-balance component.

rico laws used against big oil the ones that have seen oil go from 20 a barrel before bush mouth, and will hit 125 at least if we start in iran, and their suchophants our diebold elected beauracrats , allow pretrial seizures of all assets. these war criminals fit the term racketeers to the core of the definition.BOOK EM DANO, NO TAXES THE REST OF THE CENTURY, if we seize these criminals offshore acounts, then sell lottery tickets for the chance to humiliate them on ppv tv for the next 25 years.we could solve every problem in the world by seizing these criminals assets , and then marketing their humiliation worldwide. they could be our biggest grossing export product.

On the face of it that certainly seemed to be a "somebody tells the truth to power" moment. Very Funny, kind of edgy.
But in reality who arranges these events? Who sets up the speakers like that? I’ll bet something here. We all know the tight Rovian control of public events of the last 5 years. The stages, the props, the scripted audiences, the propaganda. All these mucka mucks and Very Important People at this gig, which was sure to be recorded and disseminated, with Bubble Boy himself, and Colbert wasn’t vetted R E A L closely by the Rovian machine?
I’m thinking it was a calculated safety valve effort. The string pullers are ALWAYS several moves ahead in this game. They know the general consensus and I think something like this is meant to help them, and not allowed to hurt them. How? Perhaps showing the sockpuppet as being "in touch", maybe making light of severe problems to dilute them, possibly trying to get rid of the bubble boy image.

Agreed. Much as I admire Colbert, I feel he has taken part in something Big Brother wanted to happen; whether or not he was complicit in it is another matter. If he loses his job or suffers in some other way as a consequence, we’ll know he was innocent.

This may have come as surprise to those that don’t watch his great show every night. Colbert is proving that is possibly the greatest living satirist in the country.
Kudos Steve, kodos...

Shouldn’t the headline say, "speaks TRUTHINESS to power"?

Before I go for stitches at the outpatient clinic I’d just like to congratulate Stephen Colbert. He and Jon Stewart are the oly mainstream media speaking truth to power anymore and calling it comedy is the only way they get away with it.. The tension in the air at the dinner was palpable. Colbert was Touchstone-like as he led the King and his lapdog court through a minefield of innuendo. Nobody came out alive, not even himself! Absolutely brilliant!! Encore!!!

Hilarious. Looking forward to seeing/hearing the clip. Also what he has to say on it on his show tonight (11:30pm eastern on Comedy Central) Supposedly Bush was not amused at some of the stuff he said. Little dose of reality, W? What people are really thinking/saying about you when you’re not around your inner circle that tells you everything is fine and the public loves you, on a daily basis?

Amazing! I expected any moment, to see security agents take Colbert by the arms and double walkk him out.
I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.
Thank you, Colbert, for your bravery in bearding the beast in his own den!
May you get a salary raise. My respect to Comedy Central, I, for one, will be watching it from now on!
