I don't know. I just checked cspan.org and http://exposetheleft.com/ and didn't see it. Maybe it will turn up somewhere.

We watched the skit with the President and his impersonator and really enjoyed it. We watched Cobert for about two minutes and switched channels when we could see it was going to be a real yawner. My all time favorite comedian that did that show was Drew Carey.

No, he was wearing them because he thought Jon Stewart would be waiting backstage.

To quote Colbert about the word (he made up) Truthiness...

"Truthiness is 'What I say is right, and [nothing] anyone else says could possibly be true.' It's not only that I feel it to be true, but that I feel it to be true. There's not only an emotional quality, but there's a selfish quality."

In essence, Dan Rather's documents are a good example of 'Truthiness'.

Some people pay 10 dollars for a crappy website with commie mods. You should only post there if you a leftwing crackpot. PS ozama has a large gunt, and if you look at mayor wilkins picture, you just feel sorry for the guy.

I agree. I hope Tony Snow can move some of the deadwood out of the "press corp". Why are there no bloggers, conservative magazines, or reps from OUR boards present at these press events? In my opinion, they are far more important news sources (new media) as opposed to the old tired media. Old media is only "Dan Rather" multiplied.

Perhaps, the NYSlimes circulation would improve if they only printed what, in their estimation, is "unfit to print". We might have heard about the fact that Saddam met with terrorists many times, that weapons of mass destruction went to Syria and Russia, or that Able Danger had the potential to protect us, instead of reading about "Abu Grab" for 6 weeks running.

Wow, the mods are quick.

It's like an insta-zot, less ozone, less kitties.

In some circles that would be deemed quite unhealthy. There is a name for people who routinely invade other people's personal physical, and mental, space.

If a random citizen were in the room we would have gotten a better question. Instead

Town Hall meetings with no screening usually result in much better questions than the moribund WH Press Corps. At a TH meeting, people seem to actually want information from the President. WH presstitutes want to play "gotcha."

I've always read Colbert as making fun of conservatives who feel that way. He is being satirical and poking fun at us, not them. (Which is fine of course, but falling for it only proves his point.)

what did the troll say?

Oh, some nonsense about Colbert holding a mirror in front of the President.


He held up a mirror alright. Everything Colbert said was backwards.

The presentation was a hydrogen bomb. He may have ruined his career it was so bad. I watched with FReepers on bigscreen TV in the Hilton Bar and he was hooted down with calls for the hook.

Given the nails-on-chalkboard insanity of last evening's "performances" I'd say yours is a very reasonable suggestion.

I don't think the President "rushed off" in displeasure.

The President always leaves these events first, and everybody has to stay seated until he leaves. This year was the same as all other years.

Colbert was simply not funny. He had a few good lines, but mostly it was just stupid stuff.

He does better on his show, where he is interacting with guests and his audience, and making fun of himself.

I beg to differ.

I think they are not showing it because it is sooo caustic--a true representation of Liberal thinking and public mistreatment of our President.

They don't know the meaning of respect, not even for the office of the President when occupied by a man they hate.

I think my favorite line from Colbert inverviewed a congressperson from Ohio.


" Two very famous astronauts came from Ohio Congressman. What is it about Ohio that causes people to want to flee the Earth?
