[Infowarrior] - Politics: Colbert's WHCA Parody of Bush and "Current Events"

[Richard Forno]

IMV, Colbert was hysterical.  From what I've heard and read, this was one of
the 'darker' comic bits at the WHCA dinner in recent years (and more slanted
towards the 'spoof-the-President' instead of also 'spoof-the-press-corps').
Some reports say that the criticism-adverse President was NOT pleased when
Colbert was done....but then again, he could just have been grumpy since the
dinner let out way past his bedtime.

That said, I am still having nightmares of being stalked by Helen Thomas, so
I guess that's my penance for enjoying the gig so much.  :)
