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!
