Stephen Colbert - Whitehouse Correspondent's Dinner (2006)

Friday's post of Bill O'Reilly interviewing Jon Stewart reminded me of a great moment in political history: Stephen Colbert's roast of then-president Bush. During his closing years as president, Bush was a hot topic for comedians. Anyone can bash the president from the saftey of a stage or a movie set, but Stephen Colbert brought the pain live and direct in front of the prez himself. This is from 2006 and whoever hired Stephen Colbert as a speaker at the Whitehouse Correspondent's Dinner didn't quite get the joke from his cable news/comedy show.
