CSPAN: WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER REPLAYING NOW (COLBERT)

[LSK]

Watch Colbert again. Just starting.

[Up2Late]

1. But I want to talk about the "Grip and Grin" part and who's with who...

...like Who was the the young woman with John McGluclan (sp?)? Was that his daughter or 40 years younger than him wife?

And is that Steven Colbert's wife he just shown with? Yowsa!

[LSK]

2. did you see Colbert was in character even on the red carpet??

"Im here to celebrate the President and stick it to the press."

:rofl:

[Up2Late]

6. Did he say that? I have the sound off.

Also, watch for "The Daily Show's Ed Helms (actually, I think he just went by), the CSPAN Graphics person must not be a fan, because they didn't put up his name.

[LSK]

7. yes he said that on the red carpet

[rocktivity]

3. It's funny watching these old grey media icons

being escorted by their ridiculously young-looking wives?

How long into the dinner does Colbert speak? Do I have time to run to the corner and get the Sunday paper?

:headbang:

[LSK]

4. yeah I noticed that too

Colbert is on at the end, so you easily have 30 minutes. I didnt watch the beginning thou.

[rocktivity]

5. Who was that wearing the Campbell's soup can dress?

Ewww, there's Ken Melman! x(

They invited Chris Ferguson, the pro poker player? Probably because his nickname is Jesus! And didn't Valarie Plame look absolutely fabulous?

:headbang:

[Up2Late]

8. Funny how the CSPAN Director did know who the Poker guy was

but not Ed Helms, a political news critic.

[LSK]

9. kick

[rocktivity]

10. Got the VCR rolling

Hopefully, Canofun's or Crooks and Liar's VCRs are, too.

:headbang:

11. a partial clip was on Crook and Liars last night

[Just Me]

12. OMG! OMG! OMG! HE IS FUCKING "PIERCING"!!!!

:wow:

[Just Me]

13. His has taken satire to it's absolute heights!!!!

I am in awe!!! IN AWE!!!

This man doesn't just have backbone, he has a freakin's steel rod!!! :wow:

[Just Me]

14. He's making me laugh to the point,....crap, I'm peeing myself!!!

"SNOWJOB"!!!!!

[Just Me]

16. The "Helen" piece is GREAT!!!!!

:rofl:

[Retrograde]

15. Dissenting opinion

OK, I watched it after reading all of yesterday's comments on DU, and all I can say is I was underwhelmed. Colbert came across as nervous, and his film went on Way Too Long. Timing is the heart of comedy.

What really surprised me was Bush and his double: it was like a good old-fashioned SNL skit. Why do I think he spent more time rehearsing this than he does on most of his speeches?

[Just Me]

17. I am LAPPING IT UP and loving every single second!!!!

Too bad you feel differently but you are, of course, entitled to your own perception. *grin*

[Gabi Hayes]

18. god....what planet are you from?

the bush duo was HIDEOUS from so many standpoints

the most obvious being that he HUMILIATED himself in front of the entire world, portraying himself as a witless, hapless sideshow geek, whose only comedic defense is his IDIOCY

what an embarrassment to the world

too bad you fell into the trap of relying on the hostile audience for your appreciation of his words

you might want to find the thread where they have his words transcribed and try reading it. it works much better in print

if the Daily Show was smart, they'd replay it, and SWEETEN the response, as they do with the idiotic sitcoms.

[LSK]

21. that fact that Bush is sitting 10 feet from him amazes me about it all

The chimperor has to sit and listen to it.

[Just Me]

19. Okay. That was AWESOME!!!! I am SOOO glad I got to see it!!!

A HUGE congratulations the Colbert!!! :applause:

[johnfunk]

20. Just as funny the second time, if not more so...

... and those telling shots of the assembled "Whorehouse Priss Corpse" -- looks like Colbert made 'em all a little nervous!
