"Re-arranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg"

Stephen Colbert hosted the White House Correspondents Association dinner the other night. Gotta give loads of credit to Colbert for having the guts to skewer pretty much everyone in the audience, including the president.

Colbert, who spoke in the guise of his talk show character, who ostensibly supports the president strongly, urged Bush to ignore his low approval ratings, saying they were based on reality, "and reality has a well-known liberal bias."

He attacked those in the press who claim that the shake-up at the White House was merely re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. "This administration is soaring, not sinking," he said. "If anything, they are re-arranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg."

And here's the video of part of it. C-SPAN covered it. They don't have it on the schedule between now and 10am Monday, but maybe they'll re-run it sometime this week. Here's the link for C-SPAN's schedule. Strangely, it is not in their video download section. A conspiracy to suppress it?
