The President and Steve Bridges were hilarious. Steven Colbert was a let down.

[Rome2000]

He ought to be ordering half the SOB's in the room arrested and jailed for destroying our nations will to fight.

Instead he's partying with them.

Not too bright.

[Ed_in_NJ]

Look for the leftstream media to report that there was something that didn't go right, and that it was W's fault.

[Adder]

"I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq," Colbert said in a typical zinger."

LOL...Thats just funny...

[edpc]

Yet it's the Who's Who of power and celebrity in the audience — invited by media organizations to their dinner tables — that draws much of the attention. Joining ABC were former Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame....

OK....they're neither famous nor powerful. An obvious ploy by one of the press members. Marginalize this person/paper/network. Give them the Helen Thomas treatment.

[tobyhill]

It was obviously ABC's plan to create news instead of reporting it by inviting Walnut Brain Wilson and Where is Waldo Plame.

I just watched a replay of it on C-SPAN. The President and the impersonator were terrific. Colbert was pretty good, but the venue makes it difficult for a large crowd to whoop it up. The tape production that Colbert presented was excellent, imo.

[Past Your Eyes]

Yeah, he's no Claudette.

[plain talk]

Colbert's bit dragged on and on and on ... He just wasn't very funny.

[patj]

OK, is the President the only one they poked fun at?

[Rebelbase]

" Anna Kournikova"

Rules.......

[PAMadMax]

I didn't even get to see Ben Roethlisberger. Bummer. Die Hard Pittsburgh Steeler Fan Ping!

IT'S A 'BURGH THING!

[Tribune7]

Comedy Central is gutless. If Colbert really wanted to make an impression he should have flashed a picture of the Big Mo'

[manwiththehands]

Why is the President partying, let alone even associating with these people? Doesn't he get enough of them during the week?

[OldFriend]

Let's not forget that Larry Flynt was a guest at one of these dinners on the same night that Paula Jones attended.

Hard to know what to make of these dinners but surely the President topped everything anyone else has done to date.

[betsyross1776]

I saw it the president was great. Kober can take a hike. If he loves the sea hag, so much with his, she just won't stop aaking why we invaded iraq, he should date the ugly. Talk about a farse , but President Bush was his usual self a President I can be so proud of. Kober can go out to the northest wilderness and go find big foot for all I care.

Agreed!
W and B were a matched set. The bit was brilliant, world class humor. It forced guffaws from a juandiced crowd. I am honored to have watched this magnificent bit of tomfoolery. W is a genius.
Colbert could not match the wit, sheer humor and genius of W and his double. He was trite, obvious, shallow, and not funny. The audience clearly agreed. Colbert is rediculous.

[tet68]

We'll know things are getting better when Freepers
are invited.

[Explorer24]

If you saw the Clinton clips before hand something was very apparent - Clinton bashed others, not himself. AP did a clip of past presidents. For the republican ones they had comedians mocking them. When they got to Clinton they had Clinton up there making his own jokes, about others. They did have Reagan at the end make a good one. (tagline).

Point is, Clinton's so full of himself he uses even this dinner to brag about his "accomplishments" and can't even bring himself to be humble. And the press loves him so much, they play right along.

[Democratshavenobrains]

The audience laughed a lot at the line about Hillary rolling her eyes. That can't have made the Dims happy.

[meyer]

He lampoons himself every time he mentions "the jobs Americans won't do".
