BREAKING: Colbert To Head WHCA Dinner

[MsUSA]

Word out of the White House today, that the fake Bill O'Reilly will headline the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in April. Fresh off of making fun of the entire Washington punditocracy, the White House Correspondents Association will today announce that Stephen Colbert will be the head entertainer.

Last year, the dashing Stephen Colbert, then a mere Daily Show correspondent, was the guest of ABC News' Jake Tapper and sat through a not-very-well-received Lewis Black talk. This year Colbert had been courted by straightlaced competitor Jim Lehrer.

1. No way!

:rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

2. I can't wait to see what he says

and I wonder if they think he's a Bill O'Reilly or if they get the joke.

[Catchawave]

3. LOL...that's what I thought....

Do they know his show is a parody of O'Reilly :rofl:

[Mabus]

6. No they don't and don't tell them

They'd get it if they had a sense of humor. Besides, if we don't tell them, it makes it all the funnier.

4. That could be reaallyy uncomfortable.

Will he stay in "right-wing jerk" mode, or will he go as himself? And he goes in character, will they get the joke?

5. Will they get the joke?

That's a good question. Will they realize he isn't just the weird guy in the Mr. Goodwrench commercials? :evilgrin:

This should be very interesting. :rofl:

[thefool_wa]

7. Either way

He will make fun of them and it will be hysterical. I love this guy and am glad to see him getting some big-time attention.

How about a Stewart/Colbert ticket in 2K8? Can't be any worse than anything else.

8. There is a god!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oh MAN, I can't wait to see this.

I can't believe this is true. And yet, there it is.

:rofl:

How many looking glasses do you think we've collectively fallen through since Georgie boy took office to somehow arrive at this?

[rocktivity]

9. Geez, it's that time of year again?

Remember all the fuss about Jeff Gannon being invited? And remember what Colbert did on The Daily Show AFTER last year's dinner?

:rofl:

10. Not bad for the humble grandson of a goat-ball licker! n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

13. LOL!

Oh you remembered that one! *snicker* I wonder if he'll mention that?

[AlCzervik]

11. No way!! OMG i really doubt the WH is full of "It Getters" can't wait to

watch it!!

[meganmonkey]

14. I think most of the audience will look like this:

:o

and some of them will look like this:
:wow:

and a handful will look like this:
:grr:

but one or two will be like this:
:rofl:

[htuttle]

12. He's going to Truth ALL OVER the buffet, you just watch!

Let's just hope he doesn't truth in the punch bowl...

[graywarrior]

15. Sweet.

Hope they film the audience.

[Village Idiot]

16. I's rather see Lewis Black or Samantha Bee.

Colbert does absolutley nothing for me. If he doesn't roll over for the WH, however, it might be as funny as when the Clintons invited Dennis Miller to be their head entertainer - I think he called Hillary a nasty name, but I can't remember - anyhow, they were FURIOUS!!!
