White House Correspondents Dinner + Colbert = Disaster - G.Irish - 05-03-2006
Whichever side of the political spectrum you fall on, you have to agree that having Stephen Colbert roast the president at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner was a very bad idea.
I've got to give the man credit, that took gigantic titanium plated balls to say what he did straight to the president's face. He also dissed the media pretty hard too which might explain why the roast didn't get much coverage. So I've linked the video since I doubt anyone here watches C-SPAN.
Colbert Wrote:So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't.

Part 3 isn't really worth seeing.

The videos don't seem to work now. YouTube claims to have removed them due to copyright infringement.

Bleh, check on Comedycentral.com. C-Span's website might have it too. If not I'm sure you can find a torrent of it.

I saw it.
Honestly, I didn't see where he took one side or another, really. He lambasted both sides pretty damn good.

Yeah he did... he called it like he saw it. And that was the most nervious I had ever seen the president.
