I saw on Thursday’s Daily Show and Colbert Report that Colbert was supposed to perform/speak at the White House Correspondent Dinnert. I wasn’t sure if they were joking and a quick Google turned up nothing. Turns out, he was there, playing his character, though he apparently didn’t amuse the President at all.
That’s pretty damn cool, and an honor for him to be there. What are the odds, however, based on this particular performance that:
- The conservative/Bush fawning blogs are making a big deal about how this shows that the press is liberally biased
- The White House decides to take “rollback” to the next level by skipping this dinner next year
I think the odds are pretty good on both items, honestly.
