Colbert Roasts Bush to His Face

Stephen Colbert performed at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. He roasted Bush for a half hour. Bush was seated two seats away! The room was filled with Washington insiders. Scalia was there and Colbert gave him the Italian salute! "I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq." He ends with a pre-recorded demo tape of him as White House Press Secretary. This is a pretty good summary of the performance and mentions “You could see [Bush] stopped smiling about halfway through Colbert,”

YouTube has it in 3 parts. If you know what BitTorrent is, here's the torrent of the whole dinner, which is about 1 hour and 20 mins long, Colbert starts at 54 minutes in. WATCH THIS! or at least read the transcript.
