4. MSNBC left out that part. LOL
The featured entertainer was Stephen Colbert, whose Comedy Central show “The Colbert Report” often lampoons the Washington establishment.

“I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq,” Colbert said in a typical zinger.

He also paid mock tribute to Bush as a man who “believes Wednesday what he believed Monday, despite what happened Tuesday.”

7. Stephen Colbert delivers the antithesis to the State of the Union
playing paddle ball :D

looking for the way off the WH Press Room stage (like Bu$h and the locked door)

Helen Thomas was a hoot.

Colbert smacked down the elite, corrupt DC establishment big time imo ... scratched the surface, but what a scratch ...

the faces on some of those privileged characters ...

Stephen Colbert punked the establishment like ... well, like the Marx Brothers.

8. He "punked the establishment!" Thanks, cosmicdot, for putting
what Colbert did into words! He pretty much disgraced everyone!

13. That's why it was so perfect! And why I wonder how the
powers that be reacted, which was never shown on CSPAN.
