Colbert's roast

[DCJenn]

This was a HUGE deal in DC, of course. Everyone here was 'shocked'. Yikes. The Washington Post correspondent implied that he went over the line. It was no different than the regular opening monologue. I think they thought that he was a 'real conservative' rather than a comedien playing a 'real conservative'.

It was hilarious though and hopefully planted a kernel of thought in some of the admin people.

Haven't laughed this hard in a LONG time. Thanks for the link. I needed that.

text from 2 of my favorite parts of the roast:

“I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound — with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world.”

“The greatest thing about this man is he’s steady, you know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday.”

I especially loved the part about listening to your gut! :>
