Bush takes his lumps at WH Correspondents Dinner

May 3, 2006

Comedian Stephen Colbert got in some great lines at the annual White House "roast" last week.  Observing that Bush is a man who sticks to his principles he said that "When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday — no matter what happened on Tuesday."

Colbert attacked those in the press who claim that the shae-up at the White House was merely rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.  "This administration is soaring, not sinking.  If anything they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenberg."

Colbert urged Bush to ignore his low approval ratings saying they were based on reality and everyone knows that reality has a liberal bias.

Turning to the war, Colbert said that he believes that the government that governs best governs least "…and by that standard we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."
