The annual White House Press Correspondents Dinner usually has a guest entertainer, and in recent years this has generally been a comedian who will make fun of the president. In 2006 Stephen Colbert (from The Colbert Report) was invited and totally ripped shreds out of Bush, and out of his relationship with some of the media. Due to the ferocity of the attack, many of Bush's supporters and some of the media actually walked out during Colbert's performance. This is the only time you will ever see Bush having to sit through so many home truths about his administration's terrible practices, both at home and abroad. This may be a comedy routine, but it is also a slice of reality. |
