I get where you're coming from, but I think the WHPC dinner isn't the time or place for the type of "humor" Colbert displayed, it's more good-natured and self-effacing, and not meant to be your chance to nail the President and his policies to the wall. Secondly, you have to be funny, and Colbert wasn't.
I agree with these sentiments because he wasn't supposed to be using this as the bully pulpit.
He went very light on the "Press" and showed an irreverence that only Air America can appreciate.
Let's see him try this tone regularly on his faux show and see how long it lasts.
I thought he was so funny I watched him on c-span again when they replayed it. The fact he got no laughs in that room was the funniest thing of all. If you watched c-span they showed all these horses ass 'journalists' coming into the Hilton and posing for pictures like it was the Oscars or something. The President is not the only one I think who has lost his sense of reality, the press who travels with him is in the same bubble.
