A notice, to start: This is not my official, SOUA-tackling blog post for this week. Although it is on a related note. I was just watching the clip again of Stephen Colbert's speech at this year's White House Correspondence Dinner, and for any of you who haven't seen it yet, it is an absolute must.
Part one is on YouTube here, and the other 2 parts are linked from there.
"Now, I know there's some polls out there saying this man has a 32% approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in "reality." And reality has a well-known liberal bias."
This is a masterful example of rhetoric, wit, and insane boldness. To stand right in front of the president and say those things, all the while maintaining his faux-Conservative persona, is absolutely brilliant. I also found a very interesting blog post that discusses the ways in which Colbert's speech was brushed off by the media, which is rather scary. But you really have to admire Stephen's courage on this one.
