Shakespeare Bill has forwarded me a link to the entire text of Colbert’s speech and a link to the video that may work faster.

But just to give y’all a taste of what you’re missing- Colbert to the White House Press Corp:

But, listen, let’s review the rules. Here’s how it works. The president
makes decisions, he’s the decider. The press secretary announces those
decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make,
announce, type. Put them through a spell check and go home. Get to know your
family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking
around in your head. You know the one about the intrepid Washington reporter
with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know fiction.

And I can’t forget to mention the intrepid Helen Thomas! The Christian Science Monitor is a fantastic paper and it’s nice to see some journalists still have a set of steel ovaries and a rightous sense of humor. Go Helen!

I wish I was still sleeping with the cable guy for free cable- just to I could watch Colbert work his magic. But I’ve seen the cable guy that works my neighborhood now and even if it was doggy style with Colbert on the TV screen in front of me- I couldn’t do it. Even if it was gay porn of Colbert and Jon Stewart getting it on in front of me I couldn’t do it- the cable guy is just that gross (think handle bar mustache, giant beer belly barely contained by his cable guy shirt and a mullet and you’ve got my cable guy now)

So the point of all this Colbert worship is that he roasted The Great Decider at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner the other night. It is fantastically funny (though the Great Decider is less than amused) and much of the audience looks uncomfortable.

I give you Colbert’s entire speech (cut into three bits at You Tube) it takes forever to download but it is soooooooooo worth it.

Viva la truthiness. Viva Colbert!

I love it when someone write a well-researched article better than I can ever hope to!

This should add much perspective to the immigrations versus environment discussion.

Knowing what this article predicts should make us all reconsider plans for the future.

NEIL YOUNG – Living With War

Happy Happy Birthday! Does this mean you are officially a dirty old man?

Go read Mr. B’s post at BitchPhD on the annual terror report. Then tell me that this isn’t 1984.

Via Shakespeare’s Sister (via someone else and someone else- this is a bit like playing telephone in kindergarten)

Rush Limbagh has been arrested on drug charges. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Just to remind y’all what the asswipe has said about drug use in the past- here’s some quotes (bolds are so obviously mine):

We’re going to let you destroy your life. We’re going to make it easy and then
all of us who accept the responsibilities of life and don’t destroy our lives on drugs, we’ll pay for whatever messes you get into.”– Rush Limbaugh show, Dec.
9, 1993

“I’m appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say people are going to do drugs anyway let’s legalize it. It’s a dumb idea.
It’s a rotten idea and those who are for it are purely 100 percent selfish.”–
Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

“If (Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders) wants to legalize drugs, send the people
who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let’s be rid of them. — Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

“There’s nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It
destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is
destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs,
using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so
if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and
they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

“What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we’re not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too.“– Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995

I say we play caption this picture:

If those dittoheads knew I’ve been spending all their money on hillbilly heroin they might run out and buy Al Franken’s Book!

I think I just added haloscan for comments. We’ll see how it works.
