Snap! Oh, no you DIDN'T just tell truth to power!
Some people think I don't have a filter when I shoot my mouth off, but I can tell you for certain that I wouldn't have the balls to say the stuff Stephen Colbert did at the White House Correspondent's Dinner this year (Stephen's speech is towards the end, at 50-minutes/15-seconds).
Stephen Colbert deserves Journalism's highest honor (whatever that is), entertainment's highest honor, as well as the freakin' Nobel Peace Prize. His monologue at the dinner was recklessly brutal both to the Administration and to the Press—deservedly so. And the room's stony silence spoke volumes to Stephen's righteousness and barb-slinging accuracy.
His career-ending high-wire act makes the video nothing short of awe-inspiring. Except for the last filmed bit, which is pretty retarded (but then, after a 'truth cocktail' that stiff, you need a self-deprecating chaser shot of tap-dancing to make it out of the building alive). Kudos, Mr. Colbert.
