Colbert 'Roasts' Bush

I usually avoid politics, but this was too priceless to pass up. On April 29, 2006, Stephen Colbert of the The Colbert Report 'roasted' Bush in every positive and negative (metaphorical) sense of the term at the White House Correspondents Dinner. In the midst of political officials, military (and ex-military) figures, and celebrities Colbert gave a slew of highly satirical comments concerning the Bush Administration and Bush himself, ranging from low approval ratings, the 'liberal' media, and the so-called "War on Iraq." While some of his deliveries got a great degree of laughter from the audience, much of his presentation (particularly the last half) resulted in either half-hearted nervous laughter or silence. Needless to say, his 'biting' humor did not go down well with most of the attendees, including Bush himself.

You can find Colbert's presentation online in three parts: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. On Comedy Central, Colbert gave a quick plug for his presentation and his video application for Press Secretary (both can be found here).
