Transcript of Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. "I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq." And the Dan Rather cameo...!

Going to the doc today. No, this is not a glitch in the Matrix.

This is a man who believes the same thing on Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened on Tuesday. :)

And Jaws XII, starring Helen Thomas! Noooooooooo!

That was the first thing in my e-mail box this morning when I went to work, and it made the day great. I think Colbert has surpassed even Jon Stewart in fabulousness. I mean...to slam Bush right to his face again and again and again...I would mother his babies in a heartbeat.

Scrappleface has the goods on Colbert's quip corrections (http://www.scrappleface.com/?p=2251). A sample:

Colbert Quip: “I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq. “

Corrected Quip: “I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And this principle allows me to actually get paid to stand next to the President of the United States and insult him in front of his wife without being thrown into prison, having my tongue and ears cut off, being run through a meat grinder and tossed into a mass grave with the rest of my relatives.”
