Viewer Alert: Stephen Colbert on CSPAN tonite @ 8

[CatWoman]

hosting the annual White House Correspondent’s Association Dinner.

Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson are supposed to be in attendance.

Wonder if the Bushbots will sic the police on Valerie?

Hope she doesn't wear an anti-Chimp/war tee shirt.

I wonder if Colbert will be coming as himself or as the guy from the Report.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

6. Should be some good stuff. :)

[Gabi Hayes]

7. anybody else worried that he'll be going easy on them?

why would they have him if they thought he was going to pull something along the lines of Imus, when he excoriated Clinton?

I really hope he does give it to them hard, but I'm afraid he'll be co-opted by the situation

sure hope I/m wrong

[BuyingThyme]

10. From what I've seen, Stephen has an immunity to

that kind of influence. It's not necessarily that he stands up to it better than others; it's that his brand of humor simply reflects reality in a way which disarms his targets.

[Gabi Hayes]

16. I was wrong...he's not being very nice at all, but the audience isn't

buying

it's painful

he just brought up the 68% of americans don't approve of the job he's doing.

doesn't that mean that 68% of americans approve of the job he's NOT doing?

they're not laughing at ALL at some killer material.

just NAILING him with barb after barb, with just TOMBstones

[Libby2]

8. Ohhhhhh, thanks for the heads up.

[BuyingThyme]

9. Thank you.

[Peter Frank]

11. K & R CatWoman...

I wouldn't miss this for anything.

[Peter Frank]

12. Here we go -- Colbert's Coming on... n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

13. he's dying....but very funny. fricking audience is like a rock garden

wtf?

[AlCzervik]

15. a bunch of non "It getters"

[Gabi Hayes]

14. if he was doing this on his own TV show, he'd be killing

''we know that polls are just a collection of statistics of what people are thinking in reality. and we know that reality has a liberal bias''


NO response!

[frankenforpres]

17. this is imus like

except this is very funny, but as equally uncomfortable

[Gabi Hayes]

19. exactly, but Imus got more response from the audience

Fox gives you both sides of every story: the president's side, and the vice-president's side

Why are you in the media reporting on the NSA spying story?

you in the press USED to be so good! you didn't use to report on anything we did.

[AlCzervik]

18. he is brutal!! they don't get it but i think he's brilliant.

[Gabi Hayes]

20. they don't like the fact that somebody's making fun of their

honey pocket. they know if they did their jobs, they wouldn't have any access, so they're protecting their own turf

[AlCzervik]

25. nice slam on McCain.

[Jakey]

21. Good God, Colbert=Lead Balloon n/t

[titoresque]

24. He's not..

they are quiet because they know it's all the truth.

[Gabi Hayes]

27. EXACTLY....now the Valerie Plame jokes

they showed her, sitting next to Elizabeth Vargas....she's better looking than EV

now Tony Snow...Snow Job

big shoes to fill. McClellan could say nothing like nobody else

McClellan quit to spend more time with Andrew Card's children

fricking AUDIENCE is a bunch of ASSHOLES

this is great stuff!

now doing an audition tape for Press Secretary

the comedy central audience would be eating this material UP!

[titoresque]

22. holy shit!

Colbert is scathing!!!!!!! ouch! woohoo!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr_Spock]

23. Colbert is killing them!!

lol

[Gabi Hayes]

26. whoaaaa.....he just NAILED McCain for coming back into the Republican

fold.

"Can't wait to see you speaking at Bob Jones University"... no response

[CatWoman]

28. bwahahahaha

i hope he has "some company" to see him home safely tonite :D

[CatWoman]

30. ROFL

Helen is on the trail!!

:rofl:

[Gabi Hayes]

29. his audition for press secretary is GENIUS!

and the audience HATES it, because it's too close to the truth for them

again, if this was done for comedy central audiences, people would be LOLLing

genius.....way way way over the fricking audience's head.

[CatWoman]

31. HELP ME!!!

SHE WON'T QUIT ASKING ME WHY WE INVADED IRAQ!!!.

:rofl:

[Berserker]

32. THAT was great

he kicked ass. Best laugh I have had in a long long time.

[Radio_Guy]

33. Best. Comedy. Ever.

Colbert is a genius. Bush nearly put me to sleep, however.

[Gabi Hayes]

34. what do you think about this....post number 143.

I predict BAD media reviews for Colbert, but ONLY because the territorial WH correspondents don't like having reality tossed in their faces

their disingenuous appreciation for Colbert/Daily Show humor apparently doesn't extend to themselves, does it?

[CatWoman]

35. Fuck them

Not only don't they have a sense of humor, they don't have common sense, either.

[Gabi Hayes]

38. you got it....they feel very THREATENED by somebody who actually

retained his nutsac

job description to get into the WH Press CorpsE.

"leave your testicles at the table"

he kept his

[MrScorpio]

36. When is the rebroadast?

I was busy elsewhere

[NYC Liberal]

37. I wanna know this too!!

Please! :)

[Gabi Hayes]

39. it's already started....Colbert was in the press line. he said this to

the guy with the mic:

''you guys are EXTRA EXTRA bad for America!''....clearly meaning the media
