I really hope he gets some pride out of this. He deserves it.

2. And it's a slap in the face to those media lackeys...
...who kept trying to tell America that Colbert's speech was "not funny."

4. It was and it wasn't.
It WAS funny. There were lines that were damned funny. A lot of them. I actually thought the Helen Thomas bit was hilarious, especially the first half.

There were other lines that weren't funny. They were nasty, sarcastic and dead-on.

6. Still goin' strong
I got it on a torrent site soon after it was released and there were a lot of seeders (people with the file uploading).

Looks like it's still pretty popular....
