The 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner...

The 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner was held this past week and one of the speakers was Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report. Here is a link to a complete video of the comedic political performance he gave:

Stephen Colbert does what many of us wish we had the opportunity to do - the stand ten feet from the president, any president, and make fun of him with no brickwalling, no response, no secret security to haul you off. It's classic and a saved .mpg file I'll be sure to keep.
