1. Steve from ap, the outgoing pres of the WH correspondents org.

chin chin steve!

[goclark]

11. He sure will be "outgoing," bye bye for his J O B ROTFL

[hlthe2b]

12. I thought his name was Mark Smith--at any rate he's the one who

BUsh* told (in a press conference) was lucky to be working on radio, since he had a face for radio. (He's the AP reporter for radio). I think he was embarrassed by Bush* on a couple of other occasions as well.


One wonders if he didn't get just a tad of revenge with Colbert....

[Greenpeach]

2. Gawd, YES!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Either some clueless oaf who hadn't figured out that Colbert does satire,

or else it was a plot by somebody who knew very well what he was likely to do.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

4. You know...I don't they had a clue what was going to happen. :-))

[Poll_Blind]

8. I don't think so either, NOBODY could have anticipated that! n/t

5. i think they tried to get Jon Stewart and maybe some others

but they all turned it down. when they asked Colbert he accepted.

[katinmn]

9. Colbert is so hot right now, they couldn't go wrong asking him.

[daysdrive]

6. Couldn't stop laughing...

Colbert is my new hero.

[babylonsister]

7. daysdrive, welcome to DU!

:hi: And a resident of TX!
Colbert has been a hero for me, but he was priceless tonight.

[lostexpectation]

10. alot of his jokes bombed

so to speak

[Rose Siding]

13. They were awfully smart bombs

-each hitting its target, as it were.

[goclark]

14. Bombed like Shock and Awe

that Bush used to kill innocent people?

[deadparrot]

16. "Bombed" because he was mocking the very people that sat in that room.

:shrug:

[lostexpectation]

18. I see that now, he so sharp, everybody is like this is just satire right

he's just a comedian, the Bush thing was wierd too.

[NYC Liberal]

17. That's because he was SKEWERING the AUDIENCE

Of course they didn't laugh, he was mocking THEM!

[JI7]

19. they were more truth than jokes

and that's why the whore media didni't respond. they knew it was the truth.

[kansasblue]

15. I wonder if a lot of people just dont get him....

a freeper could his the sarcasm
