Upcoming Host of WH Correspondent's dinner asked to treat baby Bush with care

[Ian_rd]

Oh for the love of God, apparently that mean ol' Stephen Colbert hurt Little Boots' feelings to much last year, not to mention the haughty sensibilities of every member of the DC press corps for their complicity in Bush's lie machine.

NORM: Little to address D.C. journalists

Rich Little won't be mentioning Iraq or ratings when he addresses the White House Correspondents' Dinner April 21.

Little said organizers of the event made it clear they don't want a repeat of last year's controversial appearance by Stephen Colbert, whose searing satire of President Bush and the White House press corps fell flat and apparently touched too many nerves.

"They got a lot of letters," Little said Tuesday. "I won't even mention the word 'Iraq.'"

Little, who hasn't been to the White House since he was a favorite of the Reagan administration, said he'll stick with his usual schtick -- the impersonations of the past six presidents.

"They don't want anyone knocking the president. He's really over the coals right now, and he's worried about his legacy," added Little, a longtime Las Vegas resident.

[Norquist Nemesis]

2. Geez, they should have just hired Dennis Miller. n/t

[Iwasthere]

3. * can sure dish it out...

But he cannot take it.

[CrispyQ]

4. Holy crap,

we have a fucking three year old in the White House.

[speedoo]

5. So, since when is Rich Little funny again?

Nice, safe comic for chimpy and the pathetic lapdogs. :puke:

[Mandate My Ass]

6. Bush is over the coals?

Puh-leeze. Little Lord Pissy Pants is safely and comfortably in his bubble. However, his effing legacy will be to go down in history as a moronic, coked-up, giggling murderer. :eyes:

[Graybeard]

7. To accept the gig with those constraints on him...

...is a total sell-out. Then again it gives Little a chance to get the moth ball smell out of his tux.

[unpossibles]

13. yeah, but can he get that smell out of his act?

I bet that since The Chimperor loved the impressionist so much last time, this decision was based on that. Every King needs his safe court jester, and not someone who is not afraid to call it like he sees it, I suppose...

[NNN0LHI]

8. I thought Rich Little died years ago

Learn something every day.

[xultar]

[Th1onein]

10. Poowa widdle biddy pwesident!

Ya got a legacy, you fuck! You will go down as the worst president in history, you lying sack of shit! Live with it, mother fucker! WE have to!

[helderheid]

11. what you said.

[neoblues]

12. Worse, by an order of magnitude than any other...

That would what people would say, if Justice is done in bringing out the Truth of Bush's "Legacy".

The Worst "President" in U.S. History...

Whatever we did, we did not deserve this guy and his cadre of the corrupt.

[rock]

14. "he's worried about his legacy"

Strangely, I'm not. I know how he's going to be remembered (hint: starts with "fetid pile of")

[Jacobin]

15. but but but I thought Smirk said he had THICK SKIN?

:shrug:

[Botany]

16. He does a great Jimmy Stewart

Why don't they come out and say that bush is unstable
and needs to be treated w/ kid gloves.

[Bluebear]

17. A fine time to start 'worrying about his legacy.' nt

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Hey, shrubbie. I got your legacy right here.

Worst.President.Ever.
