This is a must see!

His commentary includes statements like "Reality shows a clear, liberal bias."

The roast itself was awesome - the Helen Thomas video notsomuch. But it was great to see Shrub have to sit there and squirm, and Laura make sour faces and purse her lips until they almost sucked inside her head.

I watched the coverage on MSNBC Sat. night, and they did a split-screen in which half stayed on Colbert, and half focused on who was making the ugliest face. It was amazing and hilarious to watch.

It was also great that Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame - oops, I'm sorry I mean "Joe Wilson's wife"

- were there, just feet away and laughing their ASSES off the whole time.

I know! I was like, "Omigod, they really are there!"

"Somebody shoot me in the face. He really isn't here?"

That takes balls... Colbert is my new hero!

From what I've read, Bush wasn't very happy by the end of the speech. I almost felt sorry for him, that must have been tough to sit through.

Being President is hard work. Hard work.

And here's a transcript, for those (like me) who are Net connection-challenged:

It's just as funny and biting on paper.

SC is the new love of my life!

"I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he has stood on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares."
