Dan Froomkin, who writes the outstanding "White House Briefing" online-only column for the "Washington Post" today does a comprehensive review and analysis of Stephen Colbert's performance at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday evening.
Here's how he begins:
President Bush on Saturday night had the audience at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in stitches. With doppelganger comedian Steve Bridges alongside -- playing his inner self -- Bush poked gentle fun of his own mangling of the English language, his belligerence and his feelings about the media.
Then Comedy Central satirist Stephen Colbert ripped those stitches out.
Froomkin describes what Colbert said, the lack of coverage by the mainstream media, and what left and right bloggers have said. It's definitely worth reading the whole piece, which is at:
