Stephen Colbert skewers the president

Stephen Colbert skewered George Bush, and many others, at the recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner. I bet Bush didn't get it.

The man is brilliant -- Colbert, not Bush (as if you had any doubt). Take a look on C-SPAN. I bet he doesn't get an invite next year.

• "The greatest thing about this man is that he's steady. You know what he believes in. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he did Monday. No matter what happened on Tuesday. Events can change. This man's beliefs never will."
• [His reaction to the press comparing White House staffing shake ups to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.] "This administration is not sinking, it is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg."
• "I believe that the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."
  
• [Colbert says he wishes he would have been considered for the press secretary job.] "I would have made a fabulous press secretary. I have nothing but contempt for these people."
• "Jesse Jackson is here ... you can ask him anything but he's going to say what he wants at the pace that he wants. It's like boxing a glacier. Enjoy that metaphor because your grandchildren will have no idea what a glacier is."
