Steven Colbert Wins the Day

Colbert was somehow granted an opportunity to speak (for about 20 minutes!) at the White House Press Corps Dinner... and absolutely rocked the mic. The President was not only in attendance, but was seated about 10 feet away from him, and Colbert didn't back down. The man's got balls of steel, y'all. Practically everything he said was simultaneously brutal and hilarious. The audience was seriously nervous - but still laughing. It was awesome. I followed a link Boing-Boing to watch the entire video... you've got to see it.

And hey, if it gets you in the mood for this sort of thing, why not rewatch Jon Stewart's inspired appearance on Crossfire?
