Bush look-alike steals show at annual press dinner

It was twice the fun for members of the White House Correspondents' Association and guests last night when President Bush invited a look-alike, sound-alike sidekick to poke fun at himself and fellow politicians.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I feel chipper tonight. I survived the White House shake-up," the president said.
But impersonator Steve Bridges stole many of the best lines as he expressed the president's supposed inner thoughts, referring to Vice President Dick Cheney and his hunting accident among other topics.
"Speaking of suspects, where is the great white hunter?" Mr. Bridges asked, later adding: "He shot the only trial lawyer in the country who supports me."
Mr. Bush, joined by first lady Laura Bush, continued a tradition begun by President Calvin Coolidge in attending the correspondents' dinner.
The featured entertainer was Stephen Colbert, whose Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report," often lampoons the Washington establishment.
Among those ribbed were the outgoing White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, and his successor, Tony Snow.

1. This will be the Republican spin tomorrow.

C-Span's headline was:

"Bush Lampoons Self at Press Corp Dinner" (No mention of Stephen Colbert)
