Wow. That was stunning. I don't much like Colbert's style or his tv show -- I sometimes think you need to see Bill O'Reilly to understand what Colbert is doing.But this -- this was utterly amazing. Turning to look Bush in the eye and then thoroughly skewering him. Same for Laura Bush. No love for the press corp either. But this quick bit -- now that took courage: quote: See who we've got here tonight. General Mowsly, Air Force Chief of Staff. General Peter Pace. They still support Rumsfeld. You guys aren't retired yet, right? Right, they still support Rumsfeld. Look, by the way, I've got a theory about how to handle these retired generals causing all this trouble, don't let them retire. C'mon, we've got a stop loss program, let's use it on these guys. If you're strong enough to go on one of those pundit shows, you can stand on a bank of computers and order men into battle.
The generals were in the audience. Why one might ask, but there they were. Oh and the truly "funny" bit was the video with Helen Thomas determinidly asking Colbert (as Bush's Press Secretary); "Why did we invade Iraq?" You've got to love Thomas!

Go here or here There are lots versions up...the 300 meg one is the FULL telecast...(I don't recommend as it's boring and lame) The other ones listed at smaller sizes are only Bush and Colbert or just either alone... All in .avi format which means you can view it on Media Player...if you burn just the Colbert segment, you can easily fit Colbert's Kristol interview and a few other gems from his show and make it a 'Best of' Colbert disc for home play.
