You've all heard about Stephen Colbert's performance last Saturday at the White House Correspondents Dinner, where he looked directly at President Bush and at the members of the press in the audience and insulted them to their face and acute discomfort.
The Bushes were particularly not amused. How would you feel, if you were George Dubya Bush, when Colbert said: «I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world.»
