Geldings unite

For those that missed Stephen Colbert's satiric beatdown of our Preznit at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Crooks and Liars has the video. Colbert just kills it. He reaches out and verbally cuts Bush's balls off in full view of Laura. It is scathing, sarcastic, and funny as hell. But the really revealing thing is the muted applause and generally cool reception Colbert received from the (supposedly tough and independent) press corps. He basically called out Bush to his face, in full view of the Press and a few hundred Washington big-time types. Something very few of these clowns have the stones to do. Colbert not only shivved him - he buried it, grabbed a club of his own transcripts, and beat him with his own words. Beautiful to see.

And somewhere high above, Hunter S. Thompson is firing up a monster load, smiling his demonic smile, and thinking to himself, "Good work my boy, now don't let the bastards keep you down".
