Colbert roasts Bush
Stephen Colbert spoke at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner recently, making fun of George Bush who was sitting but a few feet away. Here are some of the highlights:
I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.
I believe that everyone has the right to their own religion… I believe there are infinite paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
Mr. President, pay no attentiont to the people who say the glass is half empty, because 32% (Bush’s approval rating) means it’s 2/3 empty. There’s still some liquid in that glass but I wouldn’t drink it, the last third is usually backwash.
68% may not approve of the job he’s doing. But does that not logically imply that 68% approve of the job he’s not doing?
Fox news gives you both sides, the president’s side and the vice-president’s side.
New press secretarty Tony Snow is here, secret service name Snowjob.
Judging by the amount of laughter for that last one, many people in the audience knew what a snowjob was (look it up on urbandictionary.com if you don’t). Maybe that’s why they call it the White House, after all, we know Bush did snow in 1974.
