Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondence Dinner: There is finally hope!
While this is somewhat of a “me, too” or a “+1” post, I feel compelled to write it. Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Centrals’s the Daily Show and the Colbert Report recently was one of the speakers at the White House Corresponence Dinner this past Saturday.
It was one of the most brilliant moments in television I have ever seen in my entire life. Here is a snippet of the many things Colbert had to say:
“When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday — no matter what happened Tuesday.”
If you haven’t seen it yet, you can view the three parts here:

Beyond any opinion I have of White House policy, I am most frustrated by the condescending, bullying manner in which they engage any dialogue about their actions. I can only hope as many people as possible see Colbert’s lampoon. It is painful at times, but as the cliche goes, the truth often is.
