This is a link to Colbert's marvellous contribution to the White House Correspondents Dinner, 2006.
This was an incredible performance. Colbert was invited by Mark Smith, outgoing president of the White House Press Corps Association, who later said he had seen little of Colbert's work. The fact is that some Republicans believe that Colbert does actually hold the outrageously right-wing beliefs that he expresses on his show. It's satire, people!
This is a hard-hitting criticism of Bush's policies, delivered with W himself sitting and glaring 20 feet away. Colbert was also poisonously critical of the White House press corps.
His performance was largely ignored by the giants of the media; they reported at length on the dinner, but left out any mention of Colbert.
