Washington: without the Politics just the Humor

Last night there was just another dinner in Washington with politicians, celebrities, the press, and yes, the President. But this dinner was a bit different than the others. First off, there were two George Bush's. I know for many liberals out there this is your worst nightmare. Don't worry, today we're back to just one. This dinner was packed with comedy including a George Bush impersonater. I've included a link to the article at the bottom of the post. I just wanted to say two things about this event.

First, despite the civil unrest in this country regarding our government, our leaders, and specifically George Bush, kudos Mr. President for being able to step back and laugh at yourself. If you can't make fun of yourself people, you shouldn't be making fun of anyone!

Second, I want to share my favorite quote from the evening. It takes a very intelligent person to make fun of everyone in a room and have them laugh with you. Kudos to Steve Colbert for accomplishing this feat with flying colors.

Regarding the press "[Steve Colbert] said, 'What incentive do these people have to answer your questions, after all? Nothing satisfies you. Everyone asks for personnel changes, so the White House has personnel changes and everybody's like, oh, they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. First of all, that's a horrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg.'"
