I actually feel kind of bad for Bush
Despite everything he's done that I disagree with, all the mistakes I think he's made, and the stupid policies...
I did feel kind of bad for him when I watched the White House Corespondents' Association Dinner, and Stephen Colbert's speech. It's hard to be mocked outright to your face and have to keep a smile on your face.

He sure didnt do that good of a job. He looks so pissed!It's hard to be mocked outright to your face and have to keep a smile on your face.

I can't say i felt to sorry for him, the guy dug his own grave. All i could think of during this was MAN colbert sure has some balls. I know i never could have said many of those things to the man. Well, some of them i would, but not in such a mocking way.
I first saw this clip back on youtube when it was causing such a stir on the blogasphere a while back. I really didnt like colbert until i watched this clip, i guess i didnt get his humor.
anyway, now i love the colbert report.
Stewart/Colbert 08 baby!!!!

So do I, Ali. I think that's pretty low, to insult someone in a place where they really can't stick up for themselves. It's backhanded and dishonorable.
It's one thing to disagree with someone. It's another thing to disagree with someone and humiliate them in a place where they can't even avoid what you're saying.
I have to say, I admire Bush's self-restraint. I would have started sobbing, or gotten up and started arguing.

Um, guys, the point of this whole thing was to "roast" the big shots in washington. I think he took a little further than was expected but they knew what he was going to do because roasting always means that.

Compared to American humour in general he didn't seem to be particularly overdoing it. Except for the mock press conference bit.Luet's right. The purpose of the event was to be a roast. If anything, I felt more bad for Colbert -- the whole event made him seem to reek of desperation: "Please! Think I'm funny! I'm someone, someone I tell you!" Please.

You have to forgive Ollie. Republicans don't find Colbert nearly as funny as those silly liberals do.

I have no political affilation and find Colbert amusing at times.
