Anybody watching correspondents' dinner on c-span?

[trof]

Colbert is on fire!

[acmejack]

1. Everyone is watching it, check out all the threads.

[Duppers]

2. god, yes! TUNE IN!

Bush is not laughing.

Colbert has GUTS!

"They're rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!"

[MichiganVote]

3. Seldom have I seen a more humorless bunch of republicans as these

[trof]

4. woops

I got out of bed and came back on line for this.

7. It's truly pathetic

There is no common ground between reporters and W. None at all.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Bush and Pickles looked absolutely PISSED when leaving just now

:rofl:

Colbert was fucking awesome!

[RedG1]

9. Colbert was HORRIBLE...

we watched and felt embarassed for him...not even a giggle

[trof]

11. Slow start. DYNOMITE finish.

I felt the same way in the beginning.

Brave man.
Very brave.

19. I didn't find any humor so I am a troll?

geez...next time I'll run it by you first ok?

[Skittles]

21. so they are uncomfortable with the truth

their silence speaks volumes

[Panda1]

22. I agree, Chimp had it coming

The fact that it was so unexpected made it even better.
He's not used to anything but insulated lies around him.
Shock and awe! The audience didn't know how to react in the presence of the monarch. The truth is so confusing and unusual these days.
I'll bet a lot of them (the non-Neocons) laughed their asses off on the drive home. He definitely had this and much more coming.
And he didn't like it a bit.

[trof]

17. Did he say anything that wasn't true?

I don't think humor was his main message.

[The2ndWheel]

18. That wasn't his fault

There is a reason it's called the White House Correspondent's Dinner.

[gristy]

20. It wasn't supposed to be funny. Not necessarily...

And it wasn't supposed to be serious, either. This was a humor-agnostic skit. It's perceived humor or lack of it is entirely a result of each listener's perspective. So it's OK if you didn't find it funny. And it's OK if others did. I believe it was the most brilliant and truthful 1/2 hour exposure of this pResident ever.

Parts were funny to me. Other parts left my jaw closer to the floor than to my nose.

10. Routine over, * very curt polite handshake, stopped at Stepford wife,

she looked royally pi$$ed, did not offer her hand. COLD!

[trof]

12. Ya think?

[Grateful for Hope]

14. After Pickles, he kissed Helen Thomas

She looked like she had been laughing at the segment where she was chasing him. Looks like they are friends.

[peacetalksforall]

13. The Bush 'show' was awful and Colbert was too raw for them.

I knew there was trouble after his first joke about the NSA - I was lol and there was silence in the room.

[partylessinOhio]

15. This entire room is out of touch with reality.

There is a fake war going on and soldiers and Iraqiis are dying. There is nothing funny, wheeling in a Navy man without legs was heartless.

Tony Snow is hanging around and appears to be having a good time up on the dias.

23. Colbert was brilliant!!!!!

The crowd wasn't laughing much because they were probably afraid, with the exception of the Wilsons. They were loving it!

Colbert's "satire" was like a punch in the face. He was fearless. He ripped BushCo AND the impotent media.

Bravo!!!
