[spooky3]

WH Correspondents' dinner--live

[TomInTib]

1. "The last third is usually backwash" Oh, Man...n/t

[bagimin]

27. Graham cracker crust of corruption

[spooky3]

2. "He not only stands FOR things, he stands ON things...aircraft carriers"

[C_U_L8R]

3. Bush does not look happy

Colbert is on FIRE !!!!!

[spooky3]

5. it's amazing he's saying all this with * sitting a few seats away

Of course, I don't think * understands more than 32% of what SC is saying.

[Castilleja]

14. It's a beautiful thing

He rocks!

[oldtime dfl_er]

[havocmom]

4. Hope his tax return was all in order

and he has no plans to fly anywhere... ever again

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I hope he's got his bags packed for Gitmo.

I wonder if we'll ever see him again.

[TomInTib]

9. I thought the same the second you posted. nt

[pstans]

7. This is hilarious

But the media is not really laughing. Hoepfully, they are all waking up.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

8. Bush does look pissed. Audience is uptight. They don't know

how to take him.

[spooky3]

10. when the comedians are the most courageous

people in the room, that is truly pathetic.

[trof]

35. They're scared shitless.

Want to laugh but afraid to.

[gristy]

11. This is historic

The pRes is not happy

[spooky3]

15. "soaring--they're rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg"

LOL!!!!

[gristy]

44. A line about a stop-loss program for Generals

Something like "I mean, if they are able to sit in front of a computer and send our soldiers into war, then..."

[AlCzervik]

12. he's killng, it is brutal but brilliant, handing the press their asses now

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. He's skewering the press, too.

I think they are getting uncomfortable. And they should be.

[TomInTib]

16. "Rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg" WOW!

[spooky3]

17. oh no, he's got Scalia in his sights now!

he let him off too easily

[jarnocan]

18. holy sh***

this is interesting!!!! I mean he is saying - telling the truth about some serious stuff!

[spooky3]

19. Wash DC: The Chocolate City with the Marshmallow center!!!!!

[democrank]

34. Marshmallow comment is priceless!

Colbert has a lot of courage.

[trof]

20. Colbert is the bravest sonofabitch on the planet.

At first I thought he was bombing after the Bush** doppleganger, but MY GOD!
Go Steven!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. Huge cojones. HUGH!111!11!!

Steven is totally my hero now.

[trof]

31. AMAZING!

[spooky3]

25. "I would have been a fabulous press sec.--I have nothing but contempt

for these people"--(gesturing to the crowd).

[TankLV]

63. That one cut too close to the truth about the whore media, too!

Loved it, loved it!

[Mira]

21. Most courage I have seen - maybe ever - I do worry!

[pstans]

22. Joseph Wilson, the most famous husband since Dezi Arnez

:spray: :rofl:

[DesEtoiles]

23. is this THE harshest WHCD speech EVER??

[trof]

28. Since the exerable Imus-Clinton, yes.

[Duppers]

26. No one has EVER talked to bush's face like this! nt.

He has GUTS!

[spooky3]

30. how do you like his "press conference"

a la "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"?

[pstans]

33. omg, Helen Thomas is after him!

:rofl:

[spooky3]

36. curses Condi for leaving her rollerblades out

[democrank]

32. Question....

Any reaction from the WH correspondents? Are they applauding? Glad Colbert is nailing this crew.

[trof]

37. Nervous laughter.

VERY nervous.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

42. I think they don't know how to react.

If they are seen laughing too hard they will probably be sent to a back seat in the WH briefing room and not called on, like what happened to Helen Thomas.

[The Doctor.]

58. How strange that would be...

For all the chairs to be in the back.

[TankLV]

64. Quite a few shots of the repukes with "WTF?" sneers on their stone cold

faces - not a smile amongst the bunch of media whores.

The rest are quietly LAUGHING QUITELY TO THEMSELVES!

[AmericanDream]

38. Anyone got a video? and how was the audience reacting?

[spooky3]

46. replay later tonight and Sunday

12:30 PM Sunday EDT I assume
maybe tonight at 11:30, they just said
Someone at DU posted that Cspan.org would put up a video later.

[havocmom]

49. Let us hope C-SPAN replays this gem

A LOT

Somewhere in America, Robin Williams is having an orgasm

[spooky3]

39. * is redfaced, stern and VERY pissed.

[democrank]

47. Junior isn`t half as pissed as

the majority of Americans are. I hope Bush is squirming in his seat. About time someone got in his face.

[pstans]

40. Anyone think Bu$h doesn't look happy?

[Mira]

48. Did you see him and Pickles take their very stiff exits?

[DoYouEverWonder]

60. They really hightailed it out of there

No chit-chat or posing for pictures, it was time to go back into hiding where they belong. Those two deserve each other.

[crizzo5137]

41. awwwww....pickles didn't look happy.... n/t

[LiberalPartisan]

55. She'll be drunk and stoned on Xanax for a week!

[trogdor]

43. You all missed Clinton's 2000 speech.

You know, the one where he shows this movie about his last days in which he has the Ameritrade geek show him how to use eBay, and then Bill shows him how to get free ice cream bars out of the machine. You've all seen the video, but the speech was priceless. Bill had people in stitches, even as he roasted Tim Russert, the Republicans, the Independent Counsel, and himself. I miss having a President with a real sense of humor.

[BrklynLiberal]

51. That was fabuous!!!!

[acmejack]

45. What a display of pure courage!

My gosh!

[spooky3]

50. hey, how about a 5th recommendation for Colbert?

Everyone at DU should watch the replay or video on Cspan.org if they can.

[havocmom]

52. You got it

;)

Somebody post the link when it's up? My daughter doesn't do TV.

[spooky3]

53. rebroadcast of full show is starting now 11:17 PM EDT

I don't know how long it will be until SC is on, since this was apparently a long dinner.

[AmericanDream]

56. Thanks!

[realFedUp]

54. definitely want the text to that speech...nt

[jarnocan]

57. HOPE BRAD blog Comedy central or C-SPAN will post a link!

watching it again. We have another new hero!

[FourScore]

59. It will air again at 5:30 am EST.

I'll make sure to set my recorder.

[spooky3]

61. Thanks. C-span is going to get its best Nielsons ever this week!

[populistdriven]
