    "Cool Reception"

    Given that the performance of Stephen Colbert and Helen Thomas was so fantastic and so brave, I think it is silly of Salon to say that the President and First Lady gave Colbert a "cool reception." I just don't see this, and Bush is too smart (yes, I said it, "smart") for that!

    There was no "cool reception." However, that doesn't mean that the video and overall presentation wasn't gutsy and a fantastic slap in the face for a president and a media establishment that deserve to be slapped.
