Colbert for dinner 1
May8
This wouldn’t be a real blog if I didn’t link to Stephen Colbert’s speech at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. All the other blogs did. Frankly, some parts are funny, some are not. My pal James B. Martini is probably Colbert’s biggest fan. It was thanks to him I once saw a live taping of his show. It’s also thanks to him I’ve discovered thankyoustephencolbert.com where more than 50,000 people have registered their appreciation for the presidential prank. Very neat use of Google map, in case you care.
I don’t think anyone feels what Colbert did was fall-down funny, though as you said, there’s some very funny moments (I loved the “shoot me in the face” comment.) It’s the juevos it took him to deliver that speech in front of the president and not break character which is so admirable.
