President Bush's doppelganger
» Posted on May 1, 2006 11:16 AM » Category: Bush etc

If you haven't seen it elsewhere, here's the full, unedited version of President Bush's piss-take of hhimself at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The annual WHC dinner is an amazing experience - a mix of everyone who is anyone inside the Beltway, Hollywood and TV stars and pretty much everyone else who has a national profile in the US. I was at the now infamous WHC dinner a few years ago when Don Imus went for President Clinton. I'm still recovering...

PS Stephen Colbert's brilliant speech is here. It's a terrific send up of the Right:

I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.

I believe in pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps. I believe it is possible -- I saw this guy do it once in Cirque du Soleil. It was magical. And though I am a committed Christian, I believe that everyone has the right to their own religion, be it Hindu, Jewish or Muslim. I believe our infinite paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.

Watch the whole thing.

Over on LGF, they demolished Colbert as one of the unfunniest performers in the US.

But I thought President Bush was an endearing good sport.

Apparently nobody who watched Colbert found him remotely amusing but to say so is to be part of the vast right-wing conspiracy.

The link to the Colbert video is broken anyhow.
