AP doesn't seem to know Colbert criticized them

[Rose Siding]

-Or they just decided to keep it a secret. Down the page in this article, they give him 3 sentences as featured speaker. There's nothing there to indicate that the satire was directed at the press at all-

Bush in ‘chipper’ mood at reporters’ dinner
WASHINGTON - It was twice the fun for members of the White House Correspondents’ Association and guests Saturday night when President Bush and a look-alike, sound-alike sidekick poked fun at the president and fellow politicians.

1. Oh yeah, he was 'chipper' all right.

Chipper like a prisoner on trial! :party:

[CornField]

3. I was thinking wood

Why else would they set it off in quotes?

[NanceGreggs]

9. My first thought when he said 'chipper' ...

... was the scene in "Fargo", when the body parts were found ground up in the wood-chipper.

That's probably how Bush felt tonight after Colbert got going ...

10. Me, too. Great minds think alike. Or, twisted minds think alike.

:toast:

[NanceGreggs]

11. Or greatly twisted?

:toast:

2. They may be a touch slow

It will hit them.

4. Too funny. I guess they aren't all that eager to report...

5. if that is the AP take on the dindin, we are in more serious trouble

[amitten]

6. Oh, we realize it. n/t

8. I'd be really surprised if Colbert's appearance tonight didn't get

a lot of play. If it doesn't, I'll be as annoyed as I've ever been with the corp. media whores.

7. Hey, that's great!

The whole affair was sunshine, roses, rainbows and butterflies. How special! LOL
