Sorry but I find very little humor in the WHC dinner

[still_one]

Most of the pukes in the audience laughing are the ones who helped enable the invasion of Iraq

There is NOTHING funny about this, or about the deaths that have been caused in our name

HA HA HA, tell that to some Mother, wife, or child that lost someone in Iraq

[incapsulated]

1. It's not the dinner.. It's Colbert!!

He isn't up yet!

[still_one]

4. ok he is up now

[babylonsister]

2. It's a major lambasting of this president. It's couched in

jokes, but it's happening. As for the audience, I don't believe people there aren't digging this, despite what might be heard on CSPAN. I also never saw dimson's reaction to Colbert, who is up now.
I guarantee you there are people giddy with glee at what's going on tonight. I am!

[Cleita]

3. I thought the skit Colbert did as the WH press secretary

and Helen Thomas dogging him about the Iraq war was priceless.

7. the bob jones/mccain was good also

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

22. It was! And Helen loved it, was laughing a lot.

:rofl:

5. I'm guessing you didn't watch this year....

Certainly, I'd agree with you on previous years--especially the year Bush* did his WMD search "joke." Horrendous...

This year was revenge for all that--at the hands of Colbert. Bush* was punked big time...

[still_one]

6. I am watching it now, and you are right

He is telling it like it is, and NOT just to the administration, but to the pukes in the media who allowed this to happen

My appologies, I spoke before I saw Colbert

[minkyboodle]

8. lol I had the same reaction

the whole 2 bush thing creeped me out but Colbert
is making history. Who booked him? I think they
should get secret service guards after tonight.
Such sweet sweet truthiness...

[aquart]

10. NOT truthiness. Truth.

[minkyboodle]

13. lol

true :)

[still_one]

11. I bet the press will hardly report this

[gristy]

9. It's not supposed to be funny

And it's not supposed to be serious, either. This is a humor-agnostic skit. It's perceived humor or lack of it is entirely a result of each listener's perspective. So it's OK if you didn't find it funny. And it's OK if others did. I believe it was the most brilliant and truthful 1/2 hour exposure of this pResident ever.

Parts were funny to me. Other parts left my jaw closer to the floor than to my nose.

[still_one]

12. I spoke before I heard collbert, sorry

it was amazing the thrasing he gave the press

sorry, I should have waited for Colbert before commenting

[gristy]

16. That's ok!

Yes, Colbert was brilliant.

[Skittles]

23. you have redeemed yourself, my sweet

yes indeed

[kansasblue]

14. the jokes were right on target on about 50 major

admin f*ck ups. To be honest it wasn't all that funny cuz it was so true. Had to laugh at a dead on joke about the war, or Plame, or Gannon. Powerful!

[Catherine Vincent]

15. I just saw the repeat and they didn't laugh that much to me.

Usually the audience laughs pretty loud and long. Must have been mostly Bush suck ups there. Although it was good to see Joe Wilson and his wife attending. Nice looking couple!

[GoldenOldie]

17. Most of the audience look like they were afraid to laugh or look at anyone

They got it allright and they looked like they had hot pokers up their asses and not sure what they should do with the dish Colbert was serving them.

[insane_cratic_gal]

19. They were laughing but they were covering their mouths

I saw several shots were people were just covering up their smiles and laughter.

[still_one]

20. will they report it on their news?

[still_one]

18. they didn't laugh becaus they were looking in the mirror

when Colbert spoke

[JI7]

21. they didn't laugh because Colbert was speaking the truth about them

and they knew it about their shameful Bush ass kissing.

SNOWJOB says it all.

[Old and In the Way]

24. It was an embarassment fest. Colbert dumped a turd in the punchbowl.

This was a Washington insiders event. It really iwa disgusting, given what this administration has done to this country, but the media endorses it by showing up. That toast to the pResident almost made me puke.

Anyway, Colbert brought a little honesty to the party tonight. Those in attendence were being skewered along with the boyking. I hope it generates some real soul searching by those that are supposed to be watching out for our best interests, not their own.
