Stephen Colbert is our new hero. If there was ever an embodiment of the "Shirticus Way" then it is this wonderful "intervention" by satirist Stephen Colbert. Colbert was invited to tribute President Bush at the annual Whitehouse Correspondents Dinner, an invitation which only served to mirror the rest of the administrations decisions in it’s sheer stupidity. For those not aware of Colbert, he plays a faux conservative talk show host on "The Colbert Report" and also appears in the wonderful "Daily Show with Jon Stewart". What follows is an example of sheer ballsiness, intelligence and humour. If you think this was a setup then I am happy to say you are wrong. Enjoy!
