Stephen Colbert's Balls: Not Just for Kids!

Next up for the Colbert Report's "Who's Honoring me Now"? America, Steven, its very heart and soul is honoring you now. Thank you, Sir, for your gift of Truthiness.

Well, if anyone didn't know my hero, Stephen Colbert, before the White House Correspondent's Dinner, they do now. Mr. Colbert is being hailed by some as a 'folk hero' but by most republicans as 'over the line'. Though Fox news reported Colbert 'bombed' at the dinner, quite the different story is developing out here in reality-land. As Stephen pointed out though, "reality has a well known liberal bias."

I doubt that George W. realized that the night's entertainment would be staring him straight in the face as he lampooned Cheney's hunting, NSA wiretaps, the Plame leak, the Iraq war, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. Bush was WAY out of his comfort zone. The president looked clearly uncomfortable as Stephen continued to drill home jokes to a mostly unreceptive crowd. Crowd, you were right to be uncomfortable, because the joke was on you, too. Mr. Colbert, your dedication is remarkable, and I hope you know that the other 68% of us are watching the clips at home and cheering. Especially at all the uncomfortable rich and influential people.

In a related mysterious turn of events, YouTube, a video hosting site, has pulled the Colbert video from their site, and gone as far as banning the clip. The video site has not explained why the Colbert clips are now Taboo, but don't be surprised if they turn up on the Colbert Report's "Who's Attacking me Now," if they're not already "On Notice."

Watch the entire speech HERE, then add The Colbert Report to your series recordings on TiVo, you've missed too much already.
