What's up? that video didn't work for me, but i can picture it in my mind. I've been an avid Colbert fan since the show first came to Canada.

I'm really looking forward to monday's episode.

HAHAHAH YAHOO NEWS

I think they might have a Bush bent, but I don't keep track of much other than the Headlines.

However, this article, especially with its coverage focus and also their method of covering Colbert's thing, and with a video linked to the Bush routine and some talking heads commenting on how funny it was...

It's on YouTube, now.

I'll update the first post with this better video link.

I found it on isohunt with like 3000 seeds. Downloaded in five minutes, so you you could get it there.


Speak of the devil, eh Arainach.

^^Torrent to a High-Res (640x480) version of the entire Dinner - Colbert's stuff is at the end.

Thanks, I'll add that, too.

I love the look on the president's face after the person introducing Colbert says "No one is safe". The statement about the "better half" is funny too. In my opinion, I think his show was funnier than his stint at the White House, but it did get really good at the end with the video. This could be very interesting to see what happens at future press conferences if this topic is brought up.

Oh wow, when I saw his Thursday show about him being at event I thought he was just making stuff up again. Didn't think he was being serious... Wow, this will make for a great monday episode.

In terms of humour, Colbert has done much better stuff, but the fact that he was doing that in front of the President and many of his political "pals" really brings this up to be probably one of the most memorable moments of his career. I really can't see how he might top this, and as others have said, Colbert truly kicked ass that night.

That was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I know if I was there I would be laughing my ass off like a fool.

I'm watching the Daily Show (monday), and John Stewart totally gave Colbert props for the speech. He said it could only be called "ballsalicious," and that the Daily Show could not be prouder of Colbert. Stewart than summarized his response as simply "HOLY SHIT"

Waiting for 11:30 to see Colbert's own response to himself.

Glad to see that at least some other people on TV are reporting the event. Basically there's a sort of media blackout on the story. The NYTimes had an article on the dinner and wrote down the "Bush Twins" jokes word for word, but DIDN'T EVEN MENTION COLBERT at all.

Probably because he not only pissed off the President, but the American Press, as well.

Thank god for Canadian Press, then. Here, the CBC gave us full coverage of his performance, including clips. Anyone close to the border would probably pick that up.

He was absolutely right in his mocking of the press. They're just too stupid to realize it.

I'm suprised the press would be offended enough to omit mentioning all of Colbert's routine. You'd think they would at least show the stuff that didn't mention or target the press.

My school's paper pretty much plastered the opinion page with quotes of Colbert's speech surrounding an article that lavished praise on him.

Its good to have someone who has balls of steel to go out and really speak their minds. Instead of just writing up the same things again and again. But like others have said before, it seems Colbert has not only pissed off the president but the press as well because I couldn't find so much as a smidgen about what he did in my local newspapers or even online.

They probably thought he was just a joke and tried not to listen to him at all. People tend to block someone out (or even block reason out) in some way when someone attacks their character.

Him & John Stewart host my favorite shows on Comedy Central. Life would not be complete without these two short-wanged jews. :P

I have to wonder why he was invited to the dinner to speak. Did they actually believe that his show personifies who he really his? Do they not realize that the Colbert Report is a satire on right wing media? Do they think he'll hold back? I'm glad Colbert did this, just like Stewart didn't take shit from that bowtie wormy guy from the cancelled Crossfire show.

I don't think Colbert is actually a jew. I think he's Irish Catholic. Also, don't be too hasty to label the jews for having short wangs... look at Ron Jeremy.

Definitely a ballsy move. Some of the most awesomely funny shit I've seen in a long time. Also, you've gotta give a little credit to Bush for sitting there and taking the whole thing, and actually shaking his hand afterwards. Did anybody see the Bush impersonaters that were there before Colbert?

One of the Bush impersonators WAS Bush... I like how Jon Stewert say that picture and said that Bush was asexually reproducing to create a "10,000-strong Busharmy". That guy was actually a very, very good Bush impersonator.

Truth.

Although it always struck me as strange. He's pretty good at calling bullshit and Catholicism... Well... I guess it just doesn't fit with his character. I'm not going to say anymore about that.

I was reading around a few other places and apparently Imus did a comedy style routine when he was invited to speak at a Clinton function (could have been the same one, not sure). Only real difference was his was about the whole Monica Lewinsky and significantly less funny (as shouldn't be very surprising since it was done by Imus).

Also, while some of the jokes were kinda ballsy, I'd think the whole night had a bit of a jovial atmosphere with the whole Bush double thing going on. It's not like Colbert's routine was a total surprise to everyone sitting there.

I thought one of the funniest things that happened is how so few people seemed to be laughing. Nobody there seemed to be able to take a joke about themselves.

Well the one judge that he made rude gestures to was laughing pretty hard. Maybe he can take a joke better than the rest of them.

Really? I kinda doubt that the Colbert Report would be a show that 90% of the attending population would be interested in, either because its a show targeted at a younger demographic, or because they don't have the time or don't bother with his show.

It did look like that most of them were taking him seriously. Or they just can't take a joke, or rather, his brand of humor.

I just watched all of this. And you guys have to admit - that was so ballsy.

I love the way he approached it too. While I didn't laugh half as much as I expected to, I really loved what he was saying. I never watch the shows on Comedy Central and I've never really heard of this guy before, but I have to admit, that was among one of the most ballsy and respectable things I've ever seen done.

I felt so bad hardly anyone was laughing. It's good to know there are some people out there that can appreciate it.
