• Top 10 Colbert Jokes That Put This Year's White House Correspondents' Dinner To Shame

  Call us old fashioned, but this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner made us nostalgic for 2006. Craig Furgeson delivered some OK funny lines, telling Bush “You could look for a job with more vacation time” and saying Cheney “is already moving out of his residence. It takes longer than you think to pack up an entire dungeon.” But it was nothing like the night when Steven Colbert changed WHCD history by roasting the *&^$ out of Bush and the press. So for old time's sake, let us wax poetic with the top 10 most brilliant moments from Steven Colbert's WHCD speech: By the way, before I get started, if anybody needs anything else at their tables, just speak slowly and clearly into your table numbers. Someone from the NSA will be right over with a cocktail. I stand by this man. I stand by this man, because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things, things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo-ops in the world. Read More...

• Colbert For President...Yeah, Maybe Not

  The South Carolina Democratic Party denied Stephen Colbert's bid to run for President in the state "using criteria such as whether the candidate was recognized in the national news media as a legitimate candidate and whether they'd actively campaigned in the state." The Terminator is Governor of California and Colbert can't even have some fun in South Carolina. Ridiculous. And seriously bad for ratings.  Posted Nov 02 2007, 10:57 AM by Nicole Pasulka with | with no comments Filed under: colbert

• In the News: Colbert for Prez, Naked Chocolate Jesus, Pillow Fight!

  We wish this wasn't a joke: Stephen Colbert is running for President. "After nearly 15 minutes of soul-searching, I have heard the call," said Colbert. See, no one ever talks about sexy, man-loving feminists, but they should: Survey finds that feminists have healthier, more romantic heterosexual relationships. Older men with feminist partners said they had more stable relationships and greater sexual satisfaction. Holiness never tasted so delicious: Naked chocolate Jesus sculpture to be shown at a New York City art gallery amid some protest. The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights said it will not protest because, unlike before, there are no plans to put the "anatomically correct" Jesus in public view during Holy Week. That's it, pillow-fight the argument away: Belgian students organize a giant pillow fight mocking linguistic and regional rivalries between Dutch and French speakers. The impasse prompted media to speculate that the 177-year-old nation might break apart.
