Hurray. More videos.
I switched ISP's the other day, going from DSL to cable. To test the faster service, I uploaded Stephen Colbert's speech at the White House Correspondents' Dinner from Saturday night. At 197 MB, it's a little on the big side, but it's oh so worth it.
Here's the video. (Right-click and save as, yo.)
Why is it worth it? Two reasons:
1) They usually book good comedians to work the White House Correspondents' Dinner, but [allegedly] tell the comedians to go easy on the President. I think Colbert ignored that memo.
2) It's a tradition for Presidents to do a comedy bit at the event. At last year's Correspondents' Dinner, Bush showed a video of himself farcically looking for WMD's under his desk. I think he deserved a good reaming after that, and Colbert delivers it here.
Here's a good write-up of Colbert's performance vis-a-vis American Dreamz. No, really!.
