I loved it, I wonder if they had any clue he was going to slam him that way. Colbert is the man.
forgive me, but i have to kindly disagree.
the funniest joke is the one bush pulled on all the people that voted to put him in office.

You never saw it? Did your past button get stuck?
Mission Accomplished
For your edification. Although something tells me that edification is something you never saw either.
I believe that's the joke...Colbert's show is kind of a pun on right wing commentary shows like O'Reilly and the Sean Hannity Show.

Wow, this guy has guts. It's one thing to blast people in a studio, it's another to do it right to their faces while they are frowning at you.
Good for him.
Good for him.

I thought it was pretty funny, and all in good fun. I was surprised he didn't have more fun with Tony Snow though.

"I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world."

I've said it before and this just goes to confirm it (at least in my own head) - Colbert >> Stewart. Jon is still pretty funny, but it seems as though he has too much to lose, and that affects his performance. His schtick is getting repetitive and too blatantly obvious. Subtlety is much more humorous, IMO.
Colbert started very subtle with his show, and has now put it in overdrive and is steamrolling the administration, and often times, his own audience. Plus, while his interviews are often hit-n-miss, even his worsts are 10x better than Stewart's 10-minute public ass-kissings. The Colbert Report replaced The Daily Show on my Tivo's Season Pass several weeks ago, and I've yet to regret it.
That said, let us remember that this *was* the White House Correspondent Dinner - an event that often has humorous overtones, even at the expense of the President and the Media. Colbert definitely went both feet in, but this wasn't exactly an unheard-of type of address. You guys talking about "spitting in Bushler's face," have, unsurprisingly, missed the point entirely.

It wasn't just how he bashed Bush, I thought he was EASY on Bush proportionally to how much time he spent ripping into the press and everyone else...wheeeeew ...
