[kpete]

Skewering comedy skit angers Bush and aides
By Paul Bedard

Posted 5/1/06

Comedy Central star Stephen Colbert's biting routine at the White House Correspondents Association dinner won a rare silent protest from Bush aides and supporters Saturday when several independently left before he finished.

"Colbert crossed the line," said one top Bush aide, who rushed out of the hotel as soon as Colbert finished. Another said that the president was visibly angered by the sharp lines that kept coming.

"I've been there before, and I can see that he is ," said a former top aide. "He's got that look that he's ready to blow."

1. He's ready to blow? As George Carlin once commented, wouldn't

that be a good thing for the blowee?

[lonestarnot]

4. OMG great minds think alike! LOL

[Cha]

29. It was a good thing for

us, that's for sure. :evilgrin:

[HereSince1628]

79. Apparently ready to blow _again_

If aides recognize the storm signs it does imply they are familiar with them thru previous experience.


Go Bush blow up. Please. In PUBLIC, like the HINDENBURG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh the humanity! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ClintonTyree]

98. BLOW? We can impeach now!

All that was needed was a little blowing. Can we impeach him now? PLEASE?

[grahamhgreen]

148. I thought everyone knew he blows...

[lonestarnot]

2. READY to blow? HE DOES BLOW! EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE!

[FuzzyDicePHL]

12. That is,

when he's not sucking.

[lonestarnot]

15. oh no! He sucks too. For every blow action there is an opposite and

equal suck action! blow suck blow suck blow suck!

[aquart]

3. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

How polite of them.

[neuvocat]

66. Yeah, its about time they shut up.

[REP]

5. (Nelson Muntz) Ha Ha! (/Nelson Muntz)

Poor widdle babies!

[Viking12]

20. Worthy of repeat..

[dennis4868]

6. Yep.....

the truth hurts!

[imax2268]

7. "Colbert crossed the line"

Well...if you can't stand the heat...get the fuck out of the White House...!

[mod mom]

13. Amen!

[chelsea0011]

17. Even both Clinton's could smile and greet Imus. And Imus gave

a personal attack. Colbert never got personal. It was all policy. No jokes about being a drunk, cocaine user who just happens to be a mass murderer.

[Cha]

33. Or a stupid ass

monkey-boy.

[Mr Rabble]

54. Oh, now thats not really fair. Just happens to be a mass...

murderer?

I think he tries quite hard to be a mass murderer. You are making it sound as if he hasnt put a lot of effort into starting WW3, and piling up the corpses.

Give credit where credit is due.

/sarcasm/

[Jim Sagle]

134. It's hard work.

[paparush]

65. Exuse me, that's AWOL, drunk, cocaine user who just happens

to be a mass murderer.

[JHB]

68. yeah, the Finish line, to win the gold medal!

n/t

[bluemarkers]

71. W's 5th of 6th career

as a comedian? He is better at that than being The Decider.

[wordpix]

95. I've always thought that. He can amuse the other prisoners at Gitmo

[bluemarkers]

99. only if

sweet dreams, right?

[bluemarkers]

72. good idea!!

W can make a 5th or 6th career as a comedian. He is better at that than being The Decider.

[ClintonTyree]

100. bush crossed the line........

Colbert was just bringing it to his attention, and the media's attention as well. bush's little comedy routine with his "double" (didn't look much alike to me) paled in comparison to Colbert's.

We can't aggravate the little dictator now, can we? :eyes: I'm GLAD bush had to sit through it. I'm GLAD he and pickles had to face the truth for once and not sit among fawning, hand-picked sycophants as is always the custom. There was no where for bush to hide Saturday, nowhere to run and no Daddy to save him. There he was, visibly peeved, "naked as the eyes of a clown", as John Prine would say.

Stephen Colbert is a hero in my book. He didn't sell out. He took his one chance (for there will NOT be another, rest assured) and said what every patriotic American SHOULD be saying.

Fuck bush, fuck his ass licking toadies and fuck the corporate media for again acting like the hypocritical cowards they are! :mad:

[bdamomma]

107. they (bush and pickles) get awfully uncomfortable

when people tell the truth, remember Coretta's funeral, they are clearly like fish out of water, when they don't have their base singing their praises, isn't that too bad. Also I remember when Condi said to someone, don't get the President upset, does Mr. Bush have an anger issue???? Too bad Jr.

[TankLV]

116. Yep - he "crossed the line" alright - into the TRUTH and REALITY!

Sucks big time to be a repuke right now, doesn't it!

HA HA!

[MADem]

120. In the Navy that makes him a shellback!

And he'll need a tough shell, with these chickenhawks whining, pissing and pecking at him!

[converted_democrat]

8. My day has officially been made..

"I've been there before, and I can see that he is ," said a former top aide. "He's got that look that he's ready to blow."


Yes, I'm sick and twisted, but I wouldn't want it any other way..

[kittenpants]

73. Seriously, seeing the rage build in Bush's red face was half the fun. n/t

[Mikimouse]

86. I thought it was refreshing to see his face...

the same color for a change...all red, covered up the gin blossoms nicely.

[grytpype]

9. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Sweet!

[wicket]

10. What a bunch of babies!

Colbert rocked!

:rofl:

[KittyWampus]

51. Really. "Ready To Blow"? Bush is a 5 year old ready to throw a tantrum?

and the rest of America, presumably are the parents walking around on eggshells trying to keep little Jr. from lossing it?

:wtf:

[shenmue]

11. That's a big compliment

What line? Ever hear of the First Amendment?

[yorkiemommie1]

14. Ready to blow

Oh, to have seen him have a complete meltdown!!

[Botany]

16. The President and his aids mad?

"Colbert crossed the line," said one top Bush aide, who rushed out of the hotel as soon as Colbert finished. Another said that the president was visibly angered by the sharp lines that kept coming.

"I've been there before, and I can see that he is ," said a former top aide. "He's got that look that he's ready to blow."



I wonder if these people from Ohio are mad too?

Or this guy's family.


Or these Iraqis.
http://www.thewe.cc/thewei/images2/iraq_war_photos/mdf571523_cr.jpe

[SoCalDem]

110. Here's why this story is a CROCK o' SHIT

The president ALWAYS leaves FIRST, and WHILE the final speaker is talking, is THE time that the aides and assistants would NORMALLY leave first to PREPARE an exit for the president and his wife. They do not just GEt UP and leave..

In past events, the aides would just quietly get up and wander over to the presidential exit area, and no big deal would have been made of it.

HOWEVER...

this time someone dared to step across that invisible line,and Prince Pissypants got miffed, so the NORMAL behavior of presidential aides is being spun to represent a "protest"..

Ha!

[foreverdem]

18. He crossed the line?

I guess telling the truth translates to crossing the line with this regime.

[joeunderdog]

78. Satire is NOT OK. Colbert crossed the line.

Lying on a daily basis to the American people is perfectly fine.
Sending people to their deaths in an unjust war is groovy.
Fleecing taxpayers so your pals can get richer is just good business.
Outing a CIA agent and an entire National Security Operation is "fair game."
Running a country with complete disregard for the benefit of its citizens and their future--O-OK.

But satire? No way. Even this administration draws the line somewhere.

[Ready4Change]

19. "I've been there before..." Just how often?

Gee, you'd think Bush was unflappable from the way he is presented to us. Even keeled. Good natured. Able to take a little horsing around, just for funs sake. Wouldn't you?

I mean, to not be able to handle a little good natured ribbing, you'd have to be a hypersensitive, spoiled brat, wouldn't you?

On the other hand, to seek out and "win" one of the most criticized jobs in the human world when you can't personally handle criticism, you'd have to be clueless moron, wouldn't you?

And for your underlings to be aware that you "blow" up on them when someone unrelated has pissed you off would require they recognize that you are an irrational, self centered psychopath, wouldn't it?

Who still supports this guy?

[Dhalgren]

35. "Who still supports this guy?" Only the backwash, man.

Only the backwash...

[glitch]

48. Love it. Backwash for Bush. nt

[Ms. Clio]

117. I need little magnets that say "Backwash for Bush!"

I would put them on all the cars in my area that still inexplicably sport "W" stickers.

[pokercat999]

146. I apply a sticker to every gas pump when I fill up

it reads "These gas prices brought to you by George War Bush and the Republican Congress, get smart vote them out". They are 2x4 inch mailing labels made on my PC.....what fun except I gotta pay that $2.89 per to apply them.

[newspeak]

88. yeah, I agree--the backwash

how could you support someone who thinks it's humorous to make a joke of looking for WMDs around a desk? It's sick, plain sick!!!! Basically, joking that you lied about WMD's and joked about the suffering and dying of thousands for that lie!!!! Oooooh, how funny!!!!! How can you joke and who would laugh, but the truly sociopathic about hitting a trifecta--when I even think of him joking about it, I see frantic people jumping to their deaths at the WTC..... A sick and twisted sense of humor.

[marions ghost]

124. ouch

good point newspeak

What was more surreal than that "looking under the desk for WMD's" attempt at humor.

[tblue37]

49. Wasn't the NY Times article on the dinner all about

how great Bush is about taking ribbing and making fun of himself?

[stray cat]

21. Oh no! We must protect the boy king from the truth of his actions

[mcscajun]

22. "visibly angered" -- "He's got that look that he's ready to blow."

Oh MY this makes me SO happy. :)

OTOH, I wonder how many of the "departing" aides were A) just trying to beat it out before everyone got frozen in place for the exit of Chimpy and Pickles? B) avoiding being around the "blast zone" when Bush blew up?

[lonestarnot]

25. Wish he would have blown his jugular for holding it!

:rofl:

[Sequoia]

89. I wish he had so the Nation and World can see

what we're dealing with.

[stanwyck]

122. I guess his tough guy cowboy act

is history now. The whole swaggering fighter pilot macho deal? Blown. He got thrashed by a little nerdy guy with glasses. And Bush looked damn uncool. He looked pissed. And scared.
And, uh, not very "presidential".
Quick. Uncle Karl, get him to a military base. Or in front of some more vetted (and paid) "aides" clapping and cheering.

[DS1]

23. Dear Bush,

[kittenpants]

102. Now that's a beautiful graphic. n/t

[deutsey]

24. Good. Satire at its best comforts the afflicted and

afflicts the comfortable.

[robbedvoter]

26. Tharr she blows:

[Crankie Avalon]

34. HAH!!! That second pic is beautiful!!! Saving it, thanks. n/t

[bdamomma]

106. geez, look at bush's face in that picture.

but bush can joke about the WMD's in his office you remember that skit. No WMD's here, none here. What a stupid man he has killed so many people.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

27. They should've kept walking while they still have a choice.

[stellanoir]

28. "I didn't think it was physically

possible for something to suck and blow simultaneously."

Bart Simpson

[sinkingfeeling]

30. Too bad Chimpy didn't explode. Then all of America could have

seen the drunken, frat boy, arrogant, POS in his true glory!

[Justice]

147. If he did blow, that would have been it, wouldn't it?

If Bush blew, had a complete meltdown, on live television in front of all those journalists, that would have been it, he would be toast.

[Strawman]

31. "some aides crowed over reports that the president easily bested Colbert "

Yeah. Sure. And Jerry Lawler was funnier than Andy Kaufman because Memphis wrestling fans showed him more approval.

[Cha]

37. And where did these

reports come from? CorporateWhorePress? Other aides? rove? I call Bullshit!

[wordpix]

96. the pRes is funnier than Colbert and Colbert would make a better president

[killbotfactory]

32. Bush got his ass handed to him by Colbert

And it was greatly deserved.

Suck it up you pansies.

[Dhalgren]

41. Right. The Dictator's crybabies are trying to say that because

the whores and sycophants in the bought and paid for audience laughed more at the Dictator's sickening, blood-stained jokes than they did for Colbert's biting, truth-laced satire shows that Bush "bested" Colbert. What pathetic, thumb-sucking, shit-faces these douche-bags really are! We will never get our country back - truly back - until all these lick-spittles are in prison, reeducated, or deported. There is no room for them in a free society...

[xchrom]

36. blow back from being the worst president ever

is tough.

[helderheid]

38. I wonder if we'll hear gossip on this from capitol hill blue

[Iniquitous Bunny]

39. Aww Poor baby!

What a candy ass wuss! Wimpy chickenhawk can't take it. :rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

40. I guess these sissy aides have never heard RW radio, have they?

That's where the real venom is - pure and unfiltered.

[Stinky The Clown]

42. He's ready to blow?

Fuck him.

I've been ready to blow since he walked into Al's White House.

And why is always about HIM?

I have a Him Hymn .....

It is in Stinkorian Chant .......

Him. Him. Fuck Him. .......

[many a good man]

43. Bet he went home and kicked Barney

You'll never read that in the WH press either!

[BobF]

56. The only Innocent One in the White House!

Poor Barney!

It's a good thing he can't talk, or they would have put him on a small airplane YEARS ago.

[BrotherBuzz]

112. Barney ain't totally innocent...

I have it on good authority that Barney routinely pisses on Shrub's shoes.

;)

[spanone]

44. 'Ready to DO blow', that's what he meant. Go Colbert.

[tanyev]

45. That's all it takes to get rid of them?????

KEEP IT UP!!!!!!

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

[dflprincess]

74. Truthiness hurts

We've know all along this administration reacts to truth the way a vampire reacts to a crucifix.

[Gregorian]

46. Shock and Applause?

Hey, at least he didn't BOMB. ......................badum, tish.

[Rose Siding]

52. Or MOABB

Mother of all bush blow-ups. *crossing fingers*

[jsamuel]

47. haha, maybe if you had watched ONE of his shows, you would know

that he just did exactly what he does on his show EVERY NIGHT

[freesqueeze]

50. They must not do...

SATIRE.

That's the only way I can explain why they would invite the guy.

Colbert was funny but I laughed hardest at Bush's "sucking on a lemon" face.

[xxqqqzme]

61. Exactly...what did they expect him 2 do?

THEY invited HIM. I doubt Colbert's agent contacted the white house requesting the gig. Didn't they watch the show first - BEFORE they asked him? As someone earlier mentioned, Imus' vebally attacked Clinton on a personal level and it wasn't funny. All Colbert did was line up all the miserable policy failures and shine a light on them. Wonder who made the final decision 2 ask Colbert? Better be polishing up that resume sparky.

I watched the video last night (out of cspan range over the weekend - raisin brain looked a bit tipsy 2 me). I was told but it wasn't shown, that when pickles left the table, she stood up and threw her napkin @ the table - anyone else see that?

[YOY]

138. They expected him to behave

As one would even in the presence of a President that one disagrees with on several non-vital areas. I suppose I could have behaved in front of Bush Sr. or in my most disagreeing moments with Bubba. Shrub and company seem to forget just how fucking far they have gone.

They don't quite seem to get that the vitriol that they bring out in people and that no manner of playing to a obviously sold-out media will save them from this anger. Not in the information age at any rate...

[Dora]

53. Awww. Come on, youse guys, admit it.....

Surely, at least one of you ducked into the wings so you could snicker behind His Royal Rube's back.

It was that moment when the abusive father who's been knocking you around for so long finally received his own well-deserved knock upside the head -- with nobody to blame but himself.

Y'all were giggling into your fists, admit it!

[fooj]

55. Boo Fucking Hoo

He spoke for 70% of the American people. Maybe more.

[NastyDiaper]

57. Angry

Not uncomfortable, not humiliated, not saddened. The President was Angry.

[Catherine Vincent]

58. In Bush's case, it's not if you can't stand the heat...

It's if you can't stand the GUILT!

[BurtWorm]

59. "He's got that look that he's ready to blow."

So. Fucking. What.

He already blows.

[The Sleeper]

60. The Sleeper knows why the aides left..

....they knew Bushie wasn't gonna feel better until he got his arm good and tired from paddlin' some big, soft, Republican Toadie lardbottoms....

[skypilot]

62. kick

*

[Janice325]

63. Aww, poor widdle Georgie!

He can dish it out but he can't take it. :sarcasm:
k&r

[krkaufman]

64. Angry, vengeful bully

Regarding...

"I've been there before, and I can see that he is (angry)," said a former top aide. "He's got that look that he's ready to blow."

Which backs-up past stories of Bush's temper and going off on underlings. What a Cheney.

[oc2002]

67. who CARES what a UN-NAMED White House aid has to say?

Now hear this...NOBODY!

[Blue_Tires]

135. my question as well

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

69. i'd love to know what his* mommy thinks of Colbert

[stanwyck]

109. She'll let us know

and act very patrician and grand dame about his "low" behavior. Of course, this is the woman who called Hillary Clinton a "bitch".

[TankLV]

118. Don't forget Geraldine Ferraro - she seems to have anger mangement

problems.

A very foul-mouthed bitch is babs!

[Kurovski]

70. And what's this crap we have here?

"Bush's own funny routine...featured an impersonator who told the audience what Bush was thinking when he spoke dull speech lines."

It showed how he screwed up speeches as they traveled from brain to mouth. Hardly an indicator of a fully operational "thinking" process.

At any rate, it's pleasing to see the staff openly admit to president Cranky McCrackpot's generally tetchy temperament.

[Lisa]

91. yes, it shows he can't even hold up the straight end of a comedy routine

His partner (a professional comedian flown in from California, backed by a scriptwriter and an award-winning Hollywood makeup artist) had to do all the work. Steve Bridges has a lot of experience lugging around bad amateur comedians on the corporate event circuit, but still ... even he had to be wondering why it took 2 dress rehearsals, after more than 3 months of preparation!

[vireo]

75. Gee, what a great boss!

A youngish aide who is a Bush favorite described the perils of correcting the boss. “The first time I told him he was wrong, he started yelling at me,” the aide recalled about a session during the first term. “Then I showed him where he was wrong, and he said, ‘All right. I understand. Good job.’ He patted me on the shoulder. I went and had dry heaves in the bathroom.”
http://www.time.com/time/press_releases/article/0,8599,1103538,00.html

[Little Star]

76. Truth Hurts

Remember that old song Love Hurts? Well it was not only this f-upped administration that the truth hurt. The truth also hurt all those make believe reporter types. Showed just how g-damn lazy and chicken shit they are! To bad sore sports!! Suck it up, it was the unvarnished truth. Besides it was the funniest roast I've ever seen. Jon Stewart must have been proud of his boy!

[Peanutcat]

77. Good God Almighty . . . . .

Are Bush's aides really so afraid of him that they run away when it looks like he might lose his temper?!

[rman]

80. So contray to what some say, there is significance to what Colbert said

[grasswire]

81. this is the language used by victims of domestic violence

"He's got that look -- he's about to blow."

I knew that look, too. I saw it for years on the face of my husband the batterer. Also a narcissist, incidentally.

When the abuser gets "that look" the victim(s) get that sick feeling in the pit of the stomach. Trouble ahead. Duck and cover.

It's a revelation. George W. Bush is verbally and emotionally abusing members of his staff. Well, come to think of it, he's doing the same to the people of the world.

Every person who has feared an abusive family member knows "that look" intimately. God help us all.

[Kurovski]

93. "Walking on eggshells." It's the way some folks behave around--

SUPRISE--alcoholics.

[annabanana]

94. (the eyes go reptilian, don't they). . . . .n/t

[Brigid]

105. Fascinating . . .

I am fortunate enough not to have any personal experience with domestic violence, but I find it very troubling that you are by no means the first person I have seen on the 'net who has had such an experience and has said this about *.

[Zorra]

82. Aw, did the twuth hurt momma's poor wittle fascist piggies? n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

83. I think these people are all missing the point.

In my book the fact that Bush had to sit there red faced and take it is what made it even funnier.
Lets not forget that the MSM media enablers were all yucking it up when they saw the video of numb-nuts looking under the couch in the oval office for WMD's. That's their idea of acceptable humor.

[Imalittleteapot]

84. *s 15 minutes of anger do not compare to

the 6 years of anger he has caused to millions in this country and all over the world.

[skypilot]

85. ...rushed out of the hotel as soon as Colbert finished.

As soon as Colbert finished??? Dumbass, you're supposed to leave before he finishes--over even before his starts if you want to register disapproval or protest. Dumb.:eyes:

[Mr_Spock]

87. Ha ha ha ha ha!!

Stupid Bushinistas can't take it - waaahhhh!

[grace0418]

90. Yet another reason why Colbert is my new hero.

I. LOVE. THAT. MAN.

[Historic NY]

92. Oh boo hoo hoo.......................

poor * was grabbed by the nose and kicked in the ass. Colberts satire was white hot & bitingly real.......if * & company can't take the heat its time to get out of the kitchen.

[SunDrop23]

97. Oh he's got that look does he?

Well fuck him. Fuck him and his look.

If that bastard can't take the heat generated from his complete bullshit policies and performance then he needs to stay the hell out of the kitchen.

[Brigid]

101. The truth hurts that much?

I guess it does when you're a lying, fascist, warmongering idiot. :grr:

Long live Stephen Colbert! :yourock:

[Chiyo-chichi]

103. Those people who left early? They're dead to me.

Not like they weren't already... but I just thought it needed to be said.

[Brigid]

104. And they know why!

That needed to be said too. :evilgrin:

[SoCalDem]

108. Five... Four.... Three... Two.... One......

[Maestro]

111. They're just mad

because the Great Morans Leader can't issue an arrest warrant and summarily execute him as much as he would like to a la Saddam or Pol Pot or Hitler or <insert name of other crazy-ass mentally ill dictator.>

[TankLV]

121. I bet bunkerboy is STILL plotting ways to screw Colbert, right this minute

I don't doubt that the repukes are all engaged in exploring ways to "damage" him & his family - from tax audits, blacklists to even plotting "accidents".

I don't doubt it for a second.

[marions ghost]

127. that is how they think

Revenge.

They'll probably take it out on us too like they usually do.

[LoZoccolo]

113. If Bush* can't handle Colbert, how will he handle the terrorists?

We need new leadership now to protect our country. This guy doesn't seem to be up to it if he can't handle a ribbing.

[Ms. Clio]

114. Better and better, oh, this is so delightful

Please someone clone Stephen Colbert for me.

[TankLV]

115. HA HA!

We all knew this was the case.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of CRIMINALS!

[BrklynLiberal]

119. I agree, the best part was watching * getting more and more pissed

Colbert was unbelievably great!!!!

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

[CAcyclist]

133. Where can I see it? I don't have a tv.nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

123. lol! I bet they left because they were afraid to be left facing the wrath

of the Shrub!

[Neil Lisst]

125. Why does no journalist ask "what's he going to do, start a new war?!"

Oh no! He's going to BLOW.

Isn't that his problem? Too much BLOW?

[ComerPerro]

126. More proof that the Bush White House can't accept criticism

and is always trying to remove itself from anything that runs contrary to their views and opinions.

[mnhtnbb]

128. Who gives a rat's ass that Bush was angered?

It's about time he be confronted with all the crap he's served up to this country and the world.

I pray for the day this traitor is impeached, indicted for war crimes,convicted, and imprisoned for all the death and destruction he's created.

[Diane R]

129. So, how fast did his aides speed dial the media?

So,his little sychophants were terrified because they knew their boss would go into a holy rage the minute they were out of public view. As others have pointed out, they knew the signs of imminent abuse. They desperately had to defuse his ....fuse. I imagined they speed dialed the media, telling the to run the story as, "bush the best comedian". That would account for the immediate deafening silence on Colberts brilliant skit. And, the aides were able to mollify the little chimp by telling him that the world thought he was funnier than Colbert.

I am serious. How quickly did they put their 'spin' out to the media? Because the media instantly all ran with the same theme...that bush was hysterically funny and Colbert bombed. I heard the same said on Tucker Carlson and Olbermann (but not by KO) last night.

[nytemare]

130. And, finally monsieur, one wafer thin mint!

Oh, sir, it's only a tiny, little, thin one.

[symbolman]

131. Link to Video that shows Bush looking for WMDS to Howling press

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1085389

VIDEO:Bush looking for wmds - big laughs - McGovern exCIA Comments

I've uploaded a clip from my film "Rove's War" where I showed Bush looking for WMD at the WHCD, and of course the Press Howling with glee, as opposed to the Blazing Truth that Colbert laid on them that made them all run and hide under rocks and slime.

The Clip of Bush is offset by the video I filmed at the Downing Street Minutes when I flew to film that from Hawaii to DC (thanks to many at the DU), entire event having heard that NO MEDIA were going to be covering it. (I've added some of the troops that DIED while this BIG JOKE was being played out by Bush)

Sitting Next to Cinday Sheehan and Joe Wilson was James McGovern who is ex CIA, did 27 years of service for this country (this guy would make a Great president!), and he makes comments about this "BIG JOKE" brilliant man.

Just so people can see the contrast between what the media whores will do for the Chimperor, and how they will shrink like vampires when the SUN comes out.

132. Welcome to the misery party,assholes

We are on the edge of losing it all the time. The "angry left" the "Bush haters". I guess Colbert wasn't funny at all. The truth is a real bitch and it does make you edgy. Here's a favorite snip of mine from the event:

I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, has he stood on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world.


I've been blowing my top for years waiting for that truth to be spoken. That's all you ever did, Dear President. Stage photo ops on ruins of death and orchestrate more death.

137. Oh god.. total bs propaganda!

I watched the clip again, and people laughed and clapped. It was not mic'd the same as a comedy show would be.. the mics were at the front of the room, near the speaker.

WHY are those people sooo afraid of some roasting?

139. awww

My heart bleeds.

No, wait. That's just gravy.

[progressoid]

140. I'd like to see that.

141. They should have been escorted out.

And on to the Hague.

Those people have so much blood on their hands they are unworthy of being in the same room with and breathing the same air as Mr. Stephen Colbert.

142. Bwahaha! I loved seeing * squirm!

Not to mention that it was a pleasure to see him put in his place!

Colbert Rocks!

:applause:

143. waaaaaaaa!

I guess they needed their diapers changed.

144. Victims once again.

They weren't in control of the message and Bunnypants wasn't on the pedestal he so desperately needs to be on. How sad is it that cowering and mincing words has become such an integral part of having to deal with an American President, that when one man decides not to, the courtiers scream bloody murder?

Colbert's comedy has shed light on a true American tragedy.

Bravo, Stephen, bravo.

145. BOOOOOOOOOOSH Cut and Ran From The TRUTH. Coward!

I hope Mean Jean saw him hauling ass!
