my tip on ABC Colbert video made WaPo

[grasswire]

Yesterday I stumbled across the ABC video of Colbert's performance wherein ABC kept the cameras running on Bush when Colbert cut to his "audition tape" and we could see Bush's reaction to every nuance of criticism in that tape.

I sent the tip to Dan Froomkin at WaPo last night. Today, the clip is featured in his column. The bit begins at the bottom of page one.

Be sure to read Froomkin's column EVERY DAY. It's simply the best rundown of White House news.

5. Good job. I'm glad you forward him info. I love Froomkin.

6. I told Keith Olbermann he ought to use Froomkin instead of Milbank

Milbank has all the appeal of a three-day-out-of-water halibut, after all.

13. Interesting-Colbert got LOTS of laughs....

That video must have had the audience miked better than other ones I've seen. They were definitely laughing.

15. some think that c-span turned down the audio

because on this ABC tape the laughter is holding steady throughout his performance. They thought he was funny.

14. WTG!

I am glad your find is getting an even wider circulation, it is definitely a 'must-watch', imo.

16. Question - one or more of the networks (or cable stations) apparently

showed Chimpy's face quite a bit during the first part of COlbert's routine (not just the "press secretary audition" video), perhaps even showing Chimpy and Colbert simultaneously side-by-side. Is any of this video available online??
I'd just LOVE to see more of The Chimperor's reaction...
