Colbert Lampoons Bush at Dinner, President Does Not Seem Amused

Bush expects everyone to laugh at his mean spirited jokes to the press, (e.g. He won't hire Dave Gregory, or His cheap shot when introducing Tony Snow to the press corps,) but he sits stone faced, unable to 'take it' when it's Colbert's turn to 'dish it out.' The basest kind of personal hypocrisy, and why should anyone be surprised, really?

Well, we liked it. In fact, we'd have to say Colbert is our favorite right-winger.

--Late Update-- Crooks and Liars, appropriately enough, has made the video available. See It Now
