Stephen Colbert – White House Correspondents Dinner
Can the media be so stupid a second time in a row? After the media totally bombed after inviting Jon Stewart to Crossfire, you would think they would finally take comedians seriously?
No, the media can be just as dumb as some of the news they report. About a week ago, the White House Correspondents Dinner was held; it’s an annual tradition where the press and the president get together. The point is for the press to make fun of the president.
Of course, no one in the press really makes fun of the president. The associated press this year invited Stephen Colbert (from The Colbert Report… absolutely hilarious show) to talk about the president. Well, that’s what Stephen did, and it was absolutely hilarious. Guess who didn’t laugh? The president and the audience!
Maybe the press will finally take Colbert and Stewart seriously… if not, I’m going to really look forward to many more of these incidents!
I was surprised they booked Stephen Colbert in the first place. Didn’t they know he was going to tear into Bush? Apparently not. Colbert was insanely funny. Best comedy bit I’ve seen against Bush.
