Bush skewered TO HIS FACE by Stephen Colbert tonight, watch it NOW!
It is being broadcast for the second time in history- don't miss it. You have no idea. Words....fail. Here is C-Span's page. Select one of the links in the WATCH / LISTEN LIVE for C-Span 1.

The whole show is about an hour long, maybe less. Colbert will be on in 20 or so min? 8:41pm PST now.

He flips off Justice Scalia, smacks Bush with the truth endlessly. In fact, the whole audience is unfomfortable- until Bush leaves, then it is literally in an uproar.

This is one of the defining moments in satire against Bush- a great and incredibly memorable moment in comedy.

3. W has turned the office of the President into garbage
And most of us are damned tired of it. He and his rich elitist buds needs to be tarred and feathered along with their bushbot enablers.

They've ruined what once was a great country.

5. Believe me, if you folks haven't seen this yet you're in for an incredible
...treat. Seriously- look at the threads this has generated. I realize the majority of DUers are seeing the thread but not sure where to find the video or what happened.

BTW, if the video is blurry either use a different player (there a links for Windows Media Player and RealPlayer) or pretend you're listening to it on the radio. :P Seriously, this is amazing- Colbert shits down Bush's throat onstage(not literally). He flips off "Mad" Antonin Scalia, Sicilian style twice! Literally! From Bush and his twin appearing on stage to Colbert just excoriating everyone in the room...

Well, it's like Andy Kaufman was alive again...The guy didn't tell a joke, he turned the audience into the joke- and it was incredible!!!!

8. "He turned the audience into the joke." Performance art at its best.
And Stephen Colbert is the bravest man in America.

25. Bingo. Kaufman in his prime.
The audience was just stunned, not knowing what to think or how to react. Wannabe King George was drilled with the precision of a brain surgeon. True shock and awe, at last. ROTFLOL...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

9. No, they're just going through "hilarious moments past". It's a segment..
Believe me, Colbert's performance eclipses every one of those clips PUT TOGETHER!

12. absolutely....at first, I was bummed by the almost total silence evinced
But then, I started listening, instead of typing here, and realized how amazing this performance was.

it's going to be very interesting, and revealing, how the M$M handles this reaming of both the president, AND themselves

16. Dude, give it time! Half an hour? 45 min? 15 min? Time stopped.
At most it'd be somewhere over an hour long. It's worth it. You won't believe your eyes and ears. Bush and Laura got so stony faced and pissed, neither would even touch him.

I couldn't bring myself to watch it the first time around, but after seeing all the threads it generated I gave the replay a shot. This is great. :rofl:
