Colbert rapporte

I finally found the complete video of fake news pundit Steven Colbert making his (in)famous speech at the Washington Correspondents' dinner (two weeks ago), attended by many media and political luminaries, including our fearless leader, Precedent Bush (sic). The second part includes Colbert's "audition tape" for the job of White House Secretary, which turns into a bizarre fantasy involving veteran newshound Helen Thomas stalking Colbert in search of a the real reason the U.S. invaded Iraq. Pretty lame sketch, but Steven nailed his stand-up, don't you think? If you prefer to read a textual transcription, here ya go.

The jury is out on how funny Colbert was, but he has his defenders. One thing is for sure, it took a lot of guts on Steven's part to do the material he did before that crowd. But the gut is where Colbert lives; he says so himself. Watch the video.
