The White House Correspondents Association dinner.
Apparently the people who booked it didn't realize Colbert's act was a characature of themselves. I remember some shit flying after this.

It was one of the few hopeful moments of the entire GW Bush DARK AGES.
Stephen is brilliant and gutsy. BIG TIME!!!

(1,470 posts)there was a film of this with nothing but audience shots and their reactions. I've watched this so many times over the years (just for dose of schadenfreude), and every time I see something I'd missed the first 10 times. I wish there was a camera on Harry Reid the whole time!
