Stephen Colbert @ The White House Correspondents Dinner

This is priceless. Stephen Colbert of the Daily Show was invited (from what I understand) to the White House Correspondents Dinner this past Sunday by an outgoing coordinator. (If you can correct me, please do) And he made a complete fool of Bush and the entire Bush Administration. It's about 25 minutes long, but well worth the watch.
Apparently Laura Bush refused to shake his hand at the conclusion of his speech and presentation.

The first link is the entire presentation and the second picks up in the middle. Watch it ALL though! His skit as 'White House Press Secretary' is a little too long, imo, but the funniest part of it is at the end, IMO.

I think Stephen Colbert manages to offend nearly everyone in the room and many foreign nationals as well. I don't necessarily approve of all of that, but his assessments of the Bush Administration is dead on.

He's got a lot of guts to give a speech like this right to the President's face.
