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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

What I meant is I don't know if this dinner was meant to be an entirely serious one. Just because they didn't find his brand of humor funny doesn't mean that it had to be a serious night.

Also, not sure if anyone else watched the Colbert Report last night, but he was making jokes about how nobody at the dinner was willing to laugh when he was on.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
