Colbert Roasts Bush

In my previous posting on Stephen Colbert's wicked political roasting of President Bush at the White House Correspondent Dinner, I included a link to the Crooks and Liars' website which had the video on its site. However, the Crooks and Liars video is fairly small, and is not the best quality image. But now the Colbert video is up on YouTube. So why not also include the video here?

So now an encore presentation of Stephen Colbert's roasting of President Bush in three parts.

Finally, I should point out that the media believes that the best part of the roasting was the duet between President Bush and impersonator Steve Bridges. Consider this Yahoo News story regarding the duet:

WASHINGTON - It was twice the fun for members of the White House Correspondents' Association and guests when President Bush and a lookalike, soundalike sidekick poked fun at the president and fellow politicians.

But impersonator Steve Bridges stole many of the best lines. Vice President
Dick Cheney and his hunting accident were targets of his humor on a couple of occasions.

"Speaking of suspects, where is the great white hunter?" Bridges said, later adding, "He shot the only trial lawyer in the country who supports me."

Bush continued a tradition begun by President Coolidge in attending the correspondents' dinner.

He invited Bridges to play his double. The president talked to the press in polite, friendly terms. Bridges told them what the president was really thinking.

So, I thought I would include this duet here as well:
