I am so proud of Stephen Colbert and Helen Thomas!
Bush has gone to great lengths to keep himself away from ANY dissent, criticism or "unhappy talk" throughout his entire term and to withhold, despite our Constitution, as much truth, facts, decisions and information about the actual ongoings and actions of his administration, i.e., OUR NATION, from the American people. In addition, and sadly, the once noble and world-wide respected profession of journalism has allowed itself to be "bought and sold" like any other cheap product on the market by the huge multinational corporate elite, which this administration has invited in with open arms. (And in my opinion, with no small help from the greedy, short-sighted, incompetent, self-serving and disgusting members of Congress - and I regrettably have to include a bunch of cowardly Democrats in that group as well.
My point (sorry to take so long to get to) is that in one fell swoop - the talented, witty, brilliant and VERY courageous Stephen Colbert hit BOTH the lying and dangerous Bush and cronies AND the shameful and cowardly so-called media right smack in their collective faces!!
America may be down, but we're not out as long as we have true patriots such as Stephen fighting on! Thank you.
