    Amazing

    I too think this was amazing, and the set-up: the whole media plus the whole staff of the White House all dressed up and boozed up, having to sit there and take it. He was very brave to do this, and i think this will be legendary.

    Plus, I want to know what "moron" made the decision

    1) to invite Colbert to the press dinner, even though he's not a real reporter or a mega-celebrity

    2) allow him to have the last 8 minutes of the show.

    Someone in the white house is gonna get fired over this, i think. Double-You didn't look very happy.
