      imaloony8 - Um, no. The White House Correspondents Association booked Colbert for this gig, not the president or anyone in his administration. So, while it’s possible that Bush was unaware of Colbert’s satirical persona before that night, the people who booked him almost certainly knew, and _still_ booked him. Which, if you ask me, is hilarious in and of itself, because they were essentially trolling Bush.
      That’s also why the WHCA booked a Muslim comedian for the 2017 WHCD; to troll Trump.

The hacked DNC emails revealed corruption so that only helped really if anything. I know Hillary blamed the Russians for revealing the emails - it's a little like a burglar blaming the security cameras for getting them sent to jail. I didn't realize people still quoted the FBI and CIA as reliable sources so that's news to me.

      "Although President Bush shook Colbert's hand after his presentation, several of Bush's aides and supporters walked out during Colbert's speech, and one former aide commented that the President had "that look that he's ready to blow".[30] Colbert recalled that "not a lot of people laughed in the front row" during the speech, and that "when it was over, no one was even making eye contact with me ... no one is talking to me in the whole damn room"; only Scalia came to him afterward, praising Colbert's imitation of a gesture the justice had recently been photographed making.[26] He also noted actor Harry Lennix gave him props afterwards."

    An underrated turn at the WHCD, ballsy. Love the ‘68% approve of the job I’m NOT doing!”. That’s a win in my book. And George’s.

    There used to be a vid of some cameraman who kept focused on Bush’s face the whole time. And all I could think of when I saw it was the scene from Spaceballs. “Go past this part! In fact, never play this again!”

    Back in the day when people of different political persuasions could laugh at themselves and not take every moment in life so seriously. Even comments in this thread are too serious. Libs clap at, what they perceive, is Colbert hating on sleaze ball GWB, and Cons feeling the need to circle the wagons and defend the honor of the Commander in Chief from a character assassination by a disrespectful, low life comedian. In reality, these two probably had a few good laughs before and after this event despite their disagreements. It’s because they could treat the other side as if they were fellow humans and Americans.
