The Friars Club Roast of George W Bush

Well, technically it is Stephen Colbert speaking at the White House Correspondents Dinner, but why split hairs?

"This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!"
Daily Kos: Re-Improved Colbert transcript (now with complete text of Colbert-Thomas video!)

As with his show, I think that his speech had it's highs and lows, but it was worth it to have him spread a little "truthiness" when we could actually watch the president - and the press corps, for that matter - squirm.
