Colbert Roasts Bush

Pretty Awesome.  Short version of the story:  on Saturday, Stephen Colbert roasted Bush at the annual White House Press Corps dinner.  But his "roast" went a bit beyond a roast - he openly mocked the President (to his face) for his unthinking, unswerving policies and brought up every single scandal associated with the presidency.  And, really, when you think about it, we've hit that point.  A president this dangerous and reckless should get absolutely no break in the pressure, absolutely no free passes.  I mean really, *why* should we not ask hard questions and demand honest responses?

Of course, Colbert also made fun of the media, suggesting that they should go further, press harder, etc.  So the word is that the "liberal" press isn't spreading the roast around all that much.  I've no idea if that's true or not. 

Regardless, if you blog, spread the word.

It's only through the amazing power of the internets that I ever heard about this. It gave me many giggle fits last night.

"We all know that reality has a well-known liberal bias."

Ha!
