I’m a little late on this one, but since I just got around to watching the video in question today, I figure I’m okay.

Stephen Colbert (Colbert Report, Daily Show) recently delivered a speech at the White House Press Correspondents’ Dinner, and he was hilarious. He said all sorts to biting, funny and true things about the Bush Administration and the supposedly “liberal” media in bed with them that few would be bold enough to say in front of the President himself and his cronies. Shockingly, they didn’t see the humor in it.

To watch the speech in its entirety, go here and click on the link that says it’s part 2. Why it says “part 2″ I don’t know, because it’s the whole thing, but click on it to watch the speech. Part 1 is basically the same as 2, but appears to be of slightly lesser quality. The speech itself is about 20 minutes long and the video is streamed, so it loads pretty fast.

I think my favorite bit is when Colbert is talking about an interview he did with Reverend Jesse Jackson:

“[Jesse Jackson] is a very challenging interview. . . It’s like boxing a glacier. Enjoy that metaphor by the way because your grandchildren will have no idea what a glacier is.”

Great stuff. Well worth your time.
