BUSHES NOT AMUSED

WASHINGTON A blistering comedy “tribute” to President Bush by Comedy Central’s faux talk show host Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondent Dinner Saturday night left George and Laura Bush unsmiling at its close.


A sample of his act: "Colbert told Bush he could end the problem of protests by retired generals by refusing to let them retire. He compared Bush to Rocky Balboa in the “Rocky” movies, always getting punched in the face—“and Apollo Creed is everything else in the world.”

Turning to the war, he declared, "I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."

Why would they even consider Colbert for a WHite House gig? His whole shtick on Comedy Central is steadfastly standing up for this administration, basing his support on laughable reasoning--the same kind Bush uses. So Bush probably didn't even get it.
