Colbert WAY surpassed my expectations....

[blitzen]

Usually when we DUers get all excited about someone being skewered or "ripped a new one," the actual event, albeit funny, is a bit of a letdown. But this truly was historically great satire!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

1. I bet Smith is being interrogated at length about why Colbert was there.

[rocktivity]

23. Maybe it's because Smith was leaving as the head of the association

He identified himself as the "outgoing president", and I don't think he was referring to his personality.

:rofl:
rocknation

[walkon]

2. Colbert blew them all away

with pure "truthiness"!

[BloodyWilliam]

3. I need a record of this

I didn't even know the time so I couldn't DVR it! I need to find a TV rip or a DVD or anything...

This must be ARCHIVED. It was incredible. Absolutely fucking INCREDIBLE.

[madrchsod]

it`s on tomorrow

check cspan website

4. it was beautiful

i just saw the rerun. i agree with you.

[minkyboodle]

ditto

I thought I knew what to expect after reading the
threads here and knowing colberts way, boy was I
wrong. That was one of the greatest things I've
ever seen. Mr Jellinack made history tonight!!!

[kansasblue]

5. Legendary! so truthful and cutting it wasn't all that funny.

Powerful!

[amitten]

16. It wasn't funny, and I don't think it was meant to be. Colbert is one

who knows wording and timing very well when it comes to comedy.

He wanted this one to make 'em think...and it sure as hell did. You could have heard a pin drop half the time.

Bravo.

6. Interesting watching the replay . . . .

When I watched it live, it seemed as if the crowd were nearly silent during Colbert's speech. And yet, listening the second time around, where I know the jokes coming up, I hear much more crowd reaction, and positive reaction at that. Our boy did himself proud!

[xultar]

12. I think alot of them had their hands over their mouths cuz they didn't

wanna get caught laughing on video.

[C_U_L8R]

7. Yes.. historical

just watched it a second time....
Colbert is as brilliant as he is brave

[rudy23]

8. Well, it's been nice knowing him

That was unbelievable. To say all that with the president 6 feet away. That was brilliant, I still cannot stop laughing. That was so satisfying to watch.

[blonndee]

10. Now everybody's gonna know him! GO STEVEN!!!

[OwnedByFerrets]

11. It was

unbelievably brave to do what he did tonite. Not many would have had the guts to do that.

[amitten]

17. I would have. To hell with the lot of them. If the truth makes you

that uncomfortable, maybe you should get off your sorry ass and do something about it. What Colbert did should have been done on countless other occasions by countless other people. It's a little thing called SPEAKING OUT. In a little free country called AMERICA.

[Swamp Rat]

9. I just saw it!!!

:patriot: :woohoo: :bounce:

[blitzen]

13. he was like the "fool" in a Shakespeare play...the guy who gets to...

tell the king that he's a prick....Only this king was not amused!

[OhioChick]

14. Colbert really kicked ass!

:toast: :rofl:

[Neil Lisst]

15. No one in America has stood up and talked to President Bush like that.

Truly impressive.

[amitten]

18. I want to bear his love child. After I'm done with Fitzgerald.

(A girl's gotta rest sometime.)

[crizzo5137]

19. Well you can order Steven's love juice....

lol... if you a regular watcher of the show then you will understand...

[amitten]

20. Hey...I forgot about that!

Doesn't sound that exciting, though.

[chookie]

22. Formula 401

It's a seasonal product. Well worth the waiting list.

[tabasco]

21. Me too. That was an outstanding and memorable performance.

He completely humiliated the corrupt assholes running the country.
