Stephen Colbert, the only man with balls in Washington
God bless Stephen Colbert. He truly has "Huevos Grandes." His speech at the White House Correspondents dinner was merciless to both the White House and the press. Within 10 feet of George Bush, he had the C. O. Jones to deliver the following lines:
"No matter what happens to America, she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world."
"I think the government that governs least governs best, and my that measure, we've created the best government in the world in Iraq."
(on the press) "We didn't want to know, and you didn't tell us."

The most amazing part was that after guffawing at the President's tame self-satire before hand, the room was almost in shock. The MSM is toothless. They've also essentially buried this story.
