1. That Was Spot On

The man is a great comedian.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. There's a number of hidden jokes in that speech.

Or maybe we're just thinking about it too hard.

[helderheid]

3. i think you're right (about the hidden jokes). I keep hearing new things

each time I watch it!

[Olney Blue]

4. I'm amazed at how much Colbert covered- EVERY weakness

and travesty was addressed or touched on in some fashion.

[immoderate]

6. It was brilliant and funny!

Each time I see it, it gets funnier.

5. I loved that he tried to go through the curtain...

[Dr Fate]

8. Shame on you

Look at Bush's face when that happens - he got it. That entire Colbert performance was absolutely brilliant - he did not miss a beat.

[helderheid]

9. Oooooh I'll have to look at his expression during that again! Thanks!

[helderheid]

11. Am I the only one that it took 10 views before getting this? I feel so

silly

[malaise]

12. I've seen it at least 10 times

and I'm still finding subtle jokes and making connections so just enjoy and worry not.:D: Hope you noticed when Bush gulped down that water :rofl:

[helderheid]

13. oh yea, definitely noticed! Man if you ever wondered what that

man's true colors were, you just need to watch his reactions!

[malaise]

14. Indeed

He rememebered that question from Helen as well. He's a vain arrogant self-righteous moron. That ABC recording is priceless.

[opihimoimoi]

15. The Poor thing..all he had to do was PUSH THE DAMN DOOR

Not Pull it....

[driver8]

16. I think it was absolutely disgusting what Colbert did to our president.

He was out of town last weekend, so he missed the broadcast. Anyway, we had just wrapped up a meeting today, when he looked over at me and asked, "What's all this about Colbert? Lisa, did you hear anything?" He has been a longtime fan of the Daily Show but doesn't get a chance to watch it these days, due to his travel schedule.

So he's been in his office with the door shut for the past half-hour ... I think the others asked him to pipe down because he was laughing so loudly that it was distracting! He just e-mailed me, "I can't believe he (Colbert) got away with all that ..."

Did I mention, I love my job!
