stephen colbert at the white house correspondents’ dinner

this video is probably the funniest thing i’ve seen in a while. you have to give it to colbert, he truly does have balls as he claims. he’s slamming the administration and with bush no more than a few meters away. classic. interestingly, not one of the major news outlets has an article listed in google news. spread the word, because they obviously aren’t.

of course, this is another great example of how crap online video is with streaming. you have to wait until it’s completely buffered before you can view it without skipping. the quality is generally crap. the audio and video quickly get out of sync. and this is one of the better versions i found. not surprisingly, it’s not on the c-span.org website.

and europeans say americans can’t do satire. indeed.

update: here’s a torrent. it may be better quality, but i haven’t tried it. it’s apparently the whole thing so you have to fast forward to the colbert part. it also has the most likely stupid bit with bush and an impersonator.
