Things President Bush should have said to Stephen Colbert after his comedy speech...
11. The only reason you weren't heckeled, is because everybody was asleep.
10. My last speech at the NAACP got a warmer reception.
9. You might consider trying your luck at accounting.
8. Andy Kaufman wouldn't even get your speech.
7. I can't believe you replaced Colin Quinn's show. They must not have a sense of humor over at Comedy Central.
6. If Paula Abdul was judging your comedy performance tonight, all she would say is you looked good.
5. Your Secret Service name is now Nytol, cause you put everybody to sleep.
4. Are you sure you're a comedian Stephen???
3. In comparison, you made last year's guest speaker, Cedric the Entertainer, look like Richard Pryor.
2. Comedy is hard work. It's hard... hard, hard, hard work.
1. I now truly understand what they mean by the phrase: "the silence was deafening".
Did Colbert bomb as bad as Imus 10 years ago?
Wow. Was it that bad? That Stephen Colbert guy reminds me of Bob Saget ... and Bob Saget to me isn't funny at all.
I was really disappointed, however, Pres. Bush was very funny!
Nope. Instead the guy should be sincerely praised... for having a good haircut [especially if he happens to be bald] or maybe wardrobe.
"Stephen, atleast I've got a day job until 2009."
Misspelling intentional
CSPAN has this link ... if you can get it to work. Keeps timing out for me.
Colbert is usually pretty funny and his show is not as horribly biased as the daily show is... yet. Sometimes he actually goes for laughs instead of preaching for a half hour, which is all Stewart does anymore.
I'm not anti-Colbert. He just wasn't funny on Saturday. The audience really had a hard time laughing at his material.
Yes. Imus wasn't funny and I detested Clinton. Colbert wasn't funny and I like G.W.
Out of curiousity, I googled Stephen Colbert and found the transcript of his “humorous” remarks at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner with President Bush and the First Lady sitting 20 feet away. First of all, his remarks definitely WERE NOT FUNNY, which is a major failing for a so-called comedian. But much more importantly, he was taking digs at the President in the middle of a war. Has this clown never heard of 9-11 and the War on Terror? I mean this bordered on the treasonous. Belay that, maybe it actually WAS treasonous. Sometimes I think this country has gotten too stinkin tolerant for its own good. We have relatively strong leadership in the current President, but sometimes I wish he had a little more power, if you know what I mean. Would Saddam Hussein have tolerated being insulted by some Iraqi “comic” right before he invaded Iran? Would Adolph Hitler have sat there on the eve of the invasion of Poland while some “comic” insulted him and everything he stood for? We need to bring back the tried and true concept of Sedition in this country. Ultra-liberal traitorous fools like Colbert would not have very long careers.
There is a saying "dying is easy, comedy is hard"
Colbert died at the dinner.
