Ok Colbert at the correspenents dinner was hilarious

[JohnKleeb]

Especially loved the moment where Helen Thomas is going after him all over DC and then later gets him in New York. Oh god Colbert is up there as one of the better satrists of our times. It's been great to ese him come on to his own.

1. It amazes me how much.

People realize now how brilliant he is. :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

2. I knew he was brilliant

but that just blew me away with how damned funny it was. The Helen Thomas chase oh my god that was just hilarious. When he talks in to the thing in the garage, SHE ASKED ME WHY WE INVADED IRAQ, Hey why did we invade Iraq? Oh god.

[Neoma]

3. Yeah that was rather funny.

My favorite part was when he said: "this administration is not sinking, this administration is soaring! If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!" -BURN! :rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

4. That was a classic!

And I agree, John... he was really good!

[JohnKleeb]

5. That was good oto

Did you see his interview on 60 mins on sunday? I thought it was impressive. It's sad he lost his dad at such a young age really. They showed one of my favorite all time things on the Colbert Report when he put the orange peel in his mouth ala Brando in the Godfather and starting acting like a Gorilla then had the heart attack. Was that too much? yeah.

By the way, did you notice that the speech is now on wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Colbert

10. If comedy is as good as it's been the past few years

We won't have to worry.

9. I've liked Colbert since his Harvey Birdman days.

He's a brilliant satirist.

11. God, that part in the beginning where he says

"I feel like I'm dreaming. Somebody pinch me. Actually, I'm a pretty sound sleeper--somebody shoot me in the face."

Jesus. That made me squirm. Brilliantly executed though.
