Keith Olbermann Covering Correspondents' Dinner/Colbert tonight!
..."On the platform at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.... a critique of his presidency by the political satirist Steven Colbert. Colbert made jokes about the elusive weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, opportunistic pictures on aircraft carriers and the mishandling of Hurricane Katrina. Castigating Mr. Bush for not changing policy even when circumstances demanded it, he said: "When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday - no matter what happened Tuesday." Colbert was scathing about Mr. Bush's failures in Iraq. "I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."
