Why should I e-mail this video link to Jamie when I can post it on the blog and be (fairly) sure he’ll read it here? Stephen Colbert, star of The Colbert Report (obviously) and purveyor of truthiness, addresses George Bush and others at this year’s White House Press Corp dinner. You remember the one — where the impersonator stood next to the president. Why, oh why did the big man do it?

Only two disappointments: one, it turns out Colbert pronounces his name coll-bear rather than coll-bert; two, it wanes after the first ten minutes, and definitely isn’t worth continuing after the first twenty.

But nevertheless, required viewing for those who aren’t dedicated fans of Dubya.
