Colbert Rips Bush Apart
…and the President just had to sit there and take it. This is a must-read. Via Americablog.
Colbert, who spoke in the guise of his talk show character, who ostensibly supports the president strongly, urged the Bush to ignore his low approval ratings, saying they were based on reality, “and reality has a well-known liberal bias.”Noting those low ratings, Colbert advised, “The glass isn’t half empty - it’s 68% empty. There’s still some fluid in there, but I wouldn’t drink it.”
He attacked those in the press who claim that the shake-up at the White House was merely re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. “This administration is soaring, not sinking,” he said. “They are re-arranging the deck chairs—on the Hindenburg.”
Go read the whole Editor & Publisher report. It’s hilarious. The best part?
As he walked from the podium, the president and First Lady gave Colbert quick nods, unsmiling, and left immediately.
