Stephen Colbert talking shit to GW

Edit: See below for proper link.

Pretty funny video, he says a lot of stuff to the president's face that may surprise you. My favorite part is the shocked, lukewarm reaction from the audience. I think it went over like a ton of bricks which just makes me give him more props.

Starts around minute 55 of the video.

The reason Colbert's act went over like a lead balloon is that he broke the unwritten rule, not because the room was full of Bush supporters. The tradition is that politicians get up and make fun OF THEMSELVES. Taking shots at others is a no-no. Even the members of the Washington press corps (who absolutely loathe Bush) understand this. Too bad none of them thought to tell Colbert.

Yeah I know, Colbert must too. That's why I think he has balls, anyone would say that stuff at a roast.

Ah, but that's the whole point -- it is NOT a "roast". At a roast some guy is targeted and speakers take shots at them.

As for "balls", if he really knew (and I agree with you that he did in fact know -- he's not a fool) how the event works then what he did shows not "balls", but crassness. It takes exactly zero "balls" to criticize Bush. It's the national pastime, for cryin' out loud. It's not as if Colbert were in any danger of being hussled off to a locked room to have the soles of his feet beaten with rubber truncheons. Or even of having his job at Comedy Central vanish. Or even having anyone in the mainstream press say anything the least bit negative about his behavior. No, the only negative consequence he suffered for his breach of protocol was that his act bombed. Not a unique occurrence for a comedian, you have to admit.

What truly could be considered ballsy would be some Iraqi pulling the same stunt on Saddam Hussein at a dinner in Baghdad a few years back.

See I do think the move could hurt him professionally. Nobody wants to hire a person who won't play ball. Yeah he probably won't lose his Comedy Central gig over this, but really how long will that last? And from now on he'll be the dick who lambasted the president at the White House correspondents dinner. Of course it would take more balls to do in Iraq. It would also be a certain death sentence. I kind of thought from the context it was clear I meant balls in a "mocking the leader of the free world" kind of way, not balls in the "staring torture and death in the face" kind of way. You want to talk balls he's got nothing on the thousands of servicemen over in the middle east right now. He's a comedian dude, I meant as a comedian.

Unwritten rules are the reason the system is broken.

Journalists who follow unwritten rules aren't real journalists. Commedians are the closest thing we have to real journalists these days.

I commend him for what he did. Its not just the fact he attacked the Presidents policies and views, but the fact he put the media on the spot too. Calling them out on all their flaws in covering stories and important issues.

Spot on.

"My thoughts: the fawning reaction coming from many on the anti-Bush bandwagon is, unfortunately, par for the course these days?as is the celebration of Colbert?s ?bravery,? especially when there are no real consequences for engaging in meanspirited political humor other than, say, being thought a dick."
http://www.proteinwisdom.com/index.php/weblog/entry/20238/#comments

If a room full of Bush haters want to take a day off from whacking at Bush's low hanging fruit, as it were, and somebody brings the lazy man's schtick, yet again, they're not going to be impressed. Or amused, apparently.

With the board you mean?

After I posted my reply I went to another forum or two, when I came back my previous response was still sitting in the Quick Reply box.

That was weird, but I'm waiting for some other weird shit to happen before I report anything.

I think Jeffy might be restricting his citation length. Or the Shroomery is. Or something.
