OMFG, that Steve Colbert speech was fuckin hilarious

[Ms Naughty]

I had no idea who this Colbert guy is, but I looked up the transcript of his speech and it's just priceless.

What's disturbing, however, is the way the mainstream media have completely glossed over what's happened, and are instead reporting about Bush's act with his impersonator, painting him as a witty guy who can take a joke.

Spin in action.

Edit: Here's an opinion piece on the media's treatment of things:

Im not really sure why this would even be news??? It happens every year and it is always a cut on whoever is the president - who is always present - and although Colbert seems to really rake him over the coals, its no more than every other years press corps party.

Linkster, it is news because none of the other times did the president get up and leave right after the comic relief. Most usually can laugh at themselves after, but bush didn't. He shook his hand without smile and left the room.
