I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Woo-hoo
Haloscan is shitfaced.
the hell you talkin' bout, willis?
His face is awfully red.
Anyone watching Colbert?
He's going OFF!!!!
I agree- Dubya's drunk-- and Colbert is kicking butt -- the crowd can't go there with him, they're too ball-less.
The photo op joke was hilarious.
But they didn't laugh very much.
Colbert is really sticking it to Fredo.
How can you tell he's drunk?
I believe..
THE AUDIENCE OF BUTT KISSERS & SUCKUPS ARE AFRAID TO LAUGH.
Heh. For those not watching:
Colbert: "Fox News gives you two sides to every story: the president's side and the vice president's side."
Colbert is too good for this crowd.
Man, I am loving this! I'm hoping the crowd mikes are just turned down because it sure seems silent there.
"You people of the press type those decisions down"
That one was good.
Fox News cut him off after a few minutes
YOU GO STEPHEN!
Okay, that was a great joke. And none of them laughed. Because they know it's true.
This is hilarious.
But the audience is really bad.
"They are re-arranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg."
Fox News cut off Colbert that is
How can you tell he's drunk?
geoduck2,
His lips are moving.
Colbert is too good for this crowd.
He's operating on a whole different plane of consciousness.
Christ, I hope Stephen gets out of there alive.
"Okay, that was a great joke. And none of them laughed. Because they know it's true.
res ipsa loquitur | 04.29.06 - 10:50 pm | #"
OK -- res ipsa just summed things up & I need to retire if I am going to get to the 7:30 AM Mass at St. Stephen's!
Later!
More Colbert:
"Don't let the generals retire"
"We have a stop loss program, let's use it."
The audience is bad because he's sticking it to them, too.
"Go home, write that novel you've been meaning to write, the one about the idealistic reporter who stands up to the White House." (paraphrase)
What's going on here? I know I've commented drunk and depressed at this site, to the annoyance of other Eschatonians, but what does Atrios mean? I promise I won't belabor failed romances
But what's up, with no link?
Colbert to McCain:
"So glad you're back in the Republican fold. Look me up when you come to South Carolina to speak at Bob Jones University."
I still think Colbert should have done a word-for-word reproduction of Fuckface McAsshole's "No WMDs here!" bit...
ohhhh - did you hear the reaction to the John McCain joke.
oh my - I hope he does get out of there alive.
Draco the WH correspondents dinner on CSPAN.
How can you tell he's drunk?
By analyzing his pee.
Somebody please fill us in. I thought the Colbert Report was only on weeknights.
Wish I were drunk. Glad I'm not preznit, tho.
This is FANTASTIC.
Colbert is going off---CSPAN.
Who's drunk?
And thanks for the heads up, people.
ouch. colbert slams it. bet georgie wont do that next year.
But what's up, with no link?
We're watching the C-SPAN white house correspondence dinner.
Colbert is speaking. It's hilarious, but a lot of the audience doesn't know how to handle it.
Bush looks drunk or like a uncomfortable frat boy in a feminist graduate seminar.
uh oh this'll be good
What?
OMG.
Colbert just said McClellan left to spend more time with Andy Card's children.
ouch.
BTW, instead of watching the dinner, I was out in The Meadow shooting stars.
And on that whorish note, I bid you all goodnight. Have fun watching the whores laugh it up with Chimpy McStagger...
Why yes I am Duckman, why the fuck did you have to metion it?
Dig...CSCPAN, the White House Correspondents Dinner...it's live now, but will be repeated when it's done being live. Cannot be missed. Stephen is God. Everyone is waay uncomfortable.
ohmanohman! He's digging on RovePlamegate!
BTW, instead of watching the dinner, I was out in The Meadow shooting stars.
...in the face.
Boosh?
Bush is plastered.
He's fucking ossified!
COLBERT is GAWD
sorry watertiger.
Why yes, I believe he is.
And very, very unhappy.
Why, I wonder if, after the screening, he'll still be there.
Activist judges!
Why yes I am Duckman, why the fuck did you have to metion it?
Ted Kennedy - America's Disgra
Yes, you are a desperate troll.
Fuck off and die!
The Gannon button!
I like the Gannon button.
Bush is cancelling next year's appearance. He's PISSED.
There is a wall here!
Colbert is speaking. It's hilarious, but a lot of the audience doesn't know how to handle it.
Because it's over their heads.
They don't get it!
OMG, after saying Valerie Plame's name he said "Fitzgerald's not here, is he?"
I want to have Colbert's children.
Stephen Colbert is God. That is all.
On a related blogtarting note: John Negroponte, Voice Of Reason? (Scarily enough, in this case: Yes.)
HELEN THOMAS IS FANTASTIC!
My cat is freaked out because we're laughing so hard.
eeek- Helen is chasing Colbert!
So this is what a cockpunch looks like.
Somebody please fill us in. I thought the Colbert Report was only on weeknights.
digamma - 10:55 pm
he's m-c/featured at the ShiteHouse Correspondents' Dinner...
BEST VIDEO PARODY EVER!!!!
Rove just got Punk'd
didn;t they know who Steve is?????
Colbert v Thomas 
He is soooooo pissed..
Steve Colbert, biggest balls on the planet. Thanks you Steve.
OMG am a little behind bc i tivo'd it, but i can't believe colbert - muchos huevos grandes! i cannot believe he is doing this in front of the president - i couldn't do it.
"Why did we invade Iraq!"
Bush brushed off Helen when he came onto the dais. This will make him put out a hit on the poor woman. Fucking brilliant.
This reminds me of David Letterman hosting the Oscars.
They just didn't get it.
This is scaring me.
I am building a Stephen Colbert shrine even as we speak.
I got the frankincense and the myrrh.
This taped bit is odd, but good. He's being chased by Helen Thomas, very slowly.
Fox News cut him off after a few minutes
dude
Not surprised.
Truth is kryptonite to those fascist pricks!
How is he getting out of there tonight?
I rolling on the floor, dogs think I'm nuts.
I rolling on the floor, dogs think I'm nuts.
and, the award for best dramatization of the Bush administration's chickenshit refusal to provide an answer to Helen Thomas goes to....
I am so camping out in front of the studio where they shoot Colbert's show.
The guy who hired Colbert for this gig is SO getting fired!
So not only is Helen Thomas great for putting a great big bug up the W.H.'s ass on a daily basis, she's also a sport.
And these fuckers do not deserve Colbert.
Helen is laughing. Oh this is fantastic.
HOLY SHIT, COLBERT!
It's up on c-span for those sans cable.

I love it. GWB looks like he just been told that someone pissed in his drink.
Be safe, Stephen Colbert!
Evening all.
Back from quaffing elitish chardonnay.
Is there anything I should be
alarmed about?
Fuck off and die!
Terry C, Coldplayer
That is eliminationist rhetoric, if you don't ban Terry C now I'm telling David Neiwert.
I remember when Imus trashed the Clinton's at this thing years ago. That didn't actually go over so well. Crap compared to this. Colbert is good.
george bush quit drinkin' in 1986.
Shut up MSNBC
Mrs. Tony Snow looks like the LauraBot 1.1 series.
There is no greater honor than being despised by fascist bastards and their sycophantic toadies. Colbert is aces in my book.
the laurabot just dropped to kelvin.
Jesus I hope he has a food taster-and a bulletproof vest.
Guess I'll have to watch the repeat.
So much for The Best Of Saturday TV Funhouse...

Depends on how desperate they are to appear "hip" and "with-it", I suppose.

A backlash ensues against Colbert, especially from the Right who finally notice he's been making an idiot out of them for months now.
There's repeating it starting now, and again tomorrow at 12:30 Eastern.
Did you catch the joke when he couldn't find his way out of the curtains?
success would have been making the audience boo.
President AWOL stomped out like a spoiled brat.
Dammit, I missed that.
Colbert's ratings will improve after this weekend's dinner and I believe he's a feature story on dateline? 60 minutes? fuck. one of those shows tomorrow night.
What will be fun will the the re-hash the next couple of days on the regular news. In addition to the usual "Bush can poke fun at himself" we'll need the addendum of.."until Stephen Colbert did it for him."
I'm sure we can look forward to Elizabeth Bumiller telling us all about how Bush thought Colbert was hilarious.

Of course. I'm only surprised he didn't do it whilst the lights were down for the pictures.
And there's Codename Snowjob.
George W used to snort coke off my dick after I boned his willing anus but not since the 80s
Shitfaced or not, I bet he knows he just got his peepee whacked. Goddamn, Colbert...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Ann Compton ought not be wearing that sleeveless number.
BTW -- every time anybody mentions
Tony Snow, the correct appelation
should be "Creationist Tony Snow."
There is no excuse for this religious
nut anti-science asshole being the
president's spokesasshole.
He's a turd. He's not likeable. He's
not reasonable.
He's a creationist crazy person.
Sorry.
Of course they failed to respond. He told them to their faces they suck at their jobs and their only skill is unquestioned obeisance to a staggeringly unpopular man who's proven himself completely divorced from reality.
Hopefully it'll be on Crooks & Liars. The C-SPAN video stream is awful.

I have never seen a film move an audience quite like United Flight 93.

Which C-Span are you watching? I've still got people circulating at the dinner.
Oh God, that was good. The joke where he told the crowd to just go home and write a book about an idealistic reporter that takes on the White House was priceless.
The CSpan dude fuming that "traditionally they make fun of BOTH parties and he only made fun of one" was funnier than Colbert, though.
oooh, I missed that while fumbling for a blank tape -- i gotta get TIVO, dammit
Colbert said so much stuff that needed to be said. I'm so damned satisfied I need a cigarette.
NY Times lede: The release of suspects from Guantánamo Bay has been stymied by concerns that the prisoners may not be treated humanely by their own governments.
WTF?!?! How could they possibly be treated any worse?!?!
This whole event makes me sick. The king holds court. I'm glad Colbert rocked but I'm dsappointed that he took the gig at all.
Colbert was chilling with NotChimpy.
Stephen ripped the Republicans a new one. Secret Service Codename: Snow Job. Ha Ha!
You notice how the sound is now? We have no idea how loud the audience response really was. They play with that kind of thing, yanno? Cheney getting booed throwing the first pitch out, not half as far as Helen Thomas could.
They even played with the sound on the Dean Scream, to make it sound like he was crazy.
Wow, the lookalike looks like a cross between Bush and Gigolo Joe...
Thanks to all of you filling us cable challaged folks in on the fun...
How could they possibly be treated any worse?!?!
Think "Syria"

Tony Snow was me.

MSGOP talking head said that.
"Snowjob!"
"Rove hearts Stephan!"
"Thousands dead in Iraq!"
Colbert wasn't sticking it to 'em, he was stabbing them in the heart. Why did the White House hire this guy? Was Ann Coulter unavailable? My guess is that they watched the Colbert report and thought it was real.

Did he and laurabot walk out before the speaker did his thang? Did they freak out over Colbert--which was incendiary and beyond awsome. Am I not gettting what/s going on?

No. Have you seen his work prior to the Report and on Strangers with Candy? When this jumps the shark, he'll do something else. His art was honed at Second City, dude.

This is another Karl Rove special, now real Americans can see the hatred MSM and the liberal elitist have for the USA and President George W Bush.

Colbert held up a mirror to all of them and if it wasn't pretty, it's because it isn't pretty. Raw truth.
If our democracy survives it will be because of those with the guts to stand up and call bullshit when they have the microphone.
Thank you, Stephen Colbert.
"reality has a well-known liberal bias"
Colbert was SO good and he did not water down his point of view at all. His humor flew way over the heads of the assorted journobots...
That dude with the ponytail and walrus moustache was Jeff Baxter, ex-Steely Dan guitarist turned defense consultant teat sucker.

For the same reason Colbert as well as the rest of the TDS guys can manage to get those interviews with clueless victims.

Am I misreading it or did Colbert actually make several "f*** you" gestures to Scalia? Mama mia!
Eli--You don't get why George Clooney is surrounded by women, or are you talking of another Clooney?
I can only say as a homo and you might not understand, he's way cute (the chin, the hair) and lefty, and I perversely bet he has a nice scent. Not a great actor, only good. But he takes ace projects. i like him and wish him well on his directoral career.
Thank you Steve Colbert. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Hey, where's Colbert? I'm watching the repeat but wondering at what point in the show does Stephen show his face and do his thing? Haven't seen him yet?
Do I have to watch the whole three hours to catch the good stuff?
Details on "good stuff" would be appreciated here, too. My TIVO is a'waitin'.
God...I"m waiting for the replay...Could somebody tell me if Colbert is up soon? I can only take SO much of the journalists self-congratulating their WONDERFUL work.
It's just rewards now.
Maybe Stephen Colbert should give William Kristol credit for writing his speech after all.
Mil gracias, Esteban; que cojones tan grandes tienes.

btw, just reading the comments here had me spewing beer out my nose...
TROOTH TA POW-AHH !!!
Awesome!
Colbert has a serious set of balls to do this in front of so many whores, and within spitting distance of our Fearless Leader. Those nuts of his must clang together like anvils when walks.
It's sickening, the response of the media personalities to Colbert's performance. This should be enough proof for anyone that the Washington press corps is too close to the political powers. After what Bush has done, the media should not even be on speaking terms with him, and yet here they are, afraid to even laugh the asshole. This is even worse than a few years ago when all the "journalists" at this thing thought it was funny that Bush was searching for WMD under his desk in the Oval Office. These assholes helped start a WAR! People died - thousands of them, maybe hundreds of thousands! America's world stature is muddied! Yet our watchdog reporters think it's just hilarious that Bush couldn't find WMD under his desk. If the D.C. press corps had a single fiber of integrity, they would have booed Dubya out of the room when he started cracking jokes about the WMD used to take our nation to war.
How can Americans ever get the truth about Bush from the very media that is honored to hump his leg for the duration of this correspondents dinner?
"This Administration is not sinking, this Administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging deck chairs on the..." OMG I can't spoil the best joke so far (only 2:20 in and I laughed so hard I needed to pause the clip).
Amen, Amen, Sub-Terra. You articulated my rage at media perfidy better than I could. What's so ironic is that Steven Colbert, as a comedian on a "fake news" show, was every bit as courageous as Ed Murrow in exposing Joe McCarthy because he called evil out for what it is, though it was cloaked in humor. It was truth, not "truthiness". That man is so courageous and damn, his shit was just absolutely brilliant. And not to mix a Murrow/McCarthy metaphor, the image that came to mind while reading the transcript is that of Joseph Welch asking (during the Army/McCarthy hearings and I'm parapharasing), "Have you no decency, Sir"? Because Colbert was answering that question. And the answer is, no, Bush and his media minions have no decency. It will be interesting to see what happens to his show now. Will Comedy Central cave to demands to pull him?

Sorry, I can't stop saying it. That will have to be my new sigline.
Reality has . . .
Just wonderful.
Audience of coWards afraid to laugh at Fearless Leader.
I am going gay and will now become Stephens love slave. That was amazing, I taped it today, wow. It was excruciatingly fearless. Or something like that.

I'm sure we can look forward to Elizabeth Bumiller telling us all about how Bush thought Colbert was hilarious.
No, Bumiller will say that *Bush* was hilarious
and that Stephen Colbert's comedy didn't go over well.
So many of his jokes were about the Press Corps... and true.
Countdown w/Keith Olberman featured a quick look at the speech, but saying it was misplaced and too strong to be at the event. He's gonna get a lot of crit from most of his peers and A LOT of love from his fans.
Colbert is a God. He just proved it. Too bad it takes a comedian to point out how fucked-up things have become.
