Wow. I am watching Stephen Colbert’s address to the White House Press Corps, and it is brilliant. Go watch it. I can’t believe they had him speak. It’s like the conservatives who appear on his show and say things like “guys like us” as if he’s one of them.
He’s mocking you, Republicans! Helloooooooo!
And mocking you cleverly.
My favorite bits so far:
“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.”
“[Bush] is gonna say what he wants, at the pace that he wants. It’s like boxing a glacier. Enjoy that metaphor, by the way, because your grandchildren will have no idea what a glacier is.”
His “welcome!” speach to Justice Scalia, which included every rude Italian gesture he could think of.
“New press secretary Tony Snow. Secret service nickname: Snowjob.”
Brilliant, I tell you. Brilliant.
