Things That Are Choice

If you know Mike Landau, or just wish you did, here is his website/blog with some choice pictures. One problem, don't see any of me?!?! What's going on with that?

This comes from an old high school friend named Meghan who was unable to post this as a comment. I graciously agreed to post it for her and will even include my reaction free of charge.


"So I watched this a while back and I think he was rude to go after the very people who invited him to speak (AP) although if he had gone up there and delivered a speech that wasn't humorous and didn't attack any of the political figures in the room with him, he would have been cowardly. As an entertainer, a satirist, he took advantage of the situation to poke fun at everyone. The video started out wonderfully and then lost it's creativity the moment after he falls on the White House lawn, trying to get away from Helen. The speech portion was pretty funny. Most of what he said was right. Any president who says things like "I'm the decider" should be publicly mocked and ridiculed (although Bush's painfully weak grasp of the English language is actually the least of his problems). I don't think I've ever seen Barbara Bush be so pissed off that she deliberately didn't acknowledge Colbert when he left. Yes, his speech was rude and amusing :-) " -Meghan

I don't think it was rude to go after the "very people who invited him to speak." They knew very well what his schtick was, and making fun of the people at the dinner is what comedians are supposed to do. Now, I can see why the audience was surprised into silence that Colbert would have the BALLS to mock the Decider while he sat a mere ten feet away. But that certainly doesn't make his speech any less funny. His satire was right on, perhaps we could all laugh more if our country wasn't being lead by such a pathetic group of people. -Brendan

I Too Support Steven Colbert

For those who missed it, you can catch Steven Colbert's speech at the White House Correspondents dinner here. Judging by the blogosphere reaction, if you're at all liberal or have a sense of humor you'll find it hilarious. If you're conservative, you think he bombed. Judge for yourself.
