The White House Correspondents Dinner was last night — you know, the one where President Bush showed that tasteless video of looking for WMD around the Oval Office, a couple years back? I missed the live showing but watched the 5:30 AM replay on C-SPAN. The networks are enjoying replaying Bush’s routine, where he spoke in tandem with a Bush impersonator, but the event truly belongs to proud Megamerican Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central’s Colbert Report.I was going to upload the video, but someone on You Tube beat me to it:
Obviously I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed Colbert’s appearance.
A whole domain has been set up to say thank you:

Who knew C-SPAN could copyright an event.
They forced You Tube to pull the above video files.
AOL has a copy of ABC’s video feed however. It’s single-camera, but it’s better than nothing.
…And now it looks like the C-SPAN footage is now available at Google Video:
