Stephen Colbert is a Genius
If you haven’t already heard, or if you’ve heard but haven’t watched it, you should check out ThankYouStephenColbert.org. Stephen Colbert is one of the funniest and most brilliant comedians around. I loved his completely straight faced delivery of BS on The Daily Show and now on The Colbert Report.
He spoke at the White Correspondents Dinner on Saturday (4/28/06), attended by such luminaries as President Bush, Antonin Scalia, and my idol, Karl Rove. He completely lampooned the administration and its lackeys.
Well, you just have to watch it:
(pay special attention to Part 1 when introducing Colbert, the emcee says to the President, “tonight, no one is safe”; Bush’s expression is telling, I believe)
Update 5/4/06:

Colbert for President! I love the guy and even though he’s wacky and wierd, he’d be better than any of the other candidates.
