I love Stephen Colbert

The annual White House Correspondents' Dinner was held this past Saturday night, and I caught part of it on C-SPAN's reruns.

Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central's Colbert Report, gave a monumental speech. With biting humor, he bravely laid out all that's wrong with the Bush administration, even with George W. Bush sitting just a few feet away.

As a News Hounds article put it, Colbert "gave the Washington elite a huge dose of the truth wrapped in humor."

As noted in an article on the Editor & Publisher site, George W. and Laura Bush did not look pleased.

You can download Colbert's speech from the Crooks and Liars site here. It's definitely worth watching.
