Ignoring Colbert

Mon, 8 May 2006 02:01:25 -0400

Apparently this is receiving no coverage in the mainstream press, making it important to know about and talk about...

The short story is that Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report (formerly with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) gave a talk at the White House Correspondant's Association Dinner, in which he pointedly and painfully roasts the president and the "liberal" press.. The interesting point is that while the dinner event has received plenty of press coverage, nobody is mentioning Colbert's presentation.
