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.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I feel chipper tonight. I survived the White House shake-up,” the president said.
But impersonator Steve Bridges stole many of the best lines. Vice President Dick Cheney and his hunting accident were targets of his humor on a couple of occasions.
Featured entertainer was Stephen Colbert, whose Comedy Central show “The Colbert Report” often lampoons the Washington establishment.
“I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq,” Colbert said in a typical zinger.

I just saw at least an excerpt, thanks to Google. It is HILARIOUS! I'm not sure what my favorite line... I think it has to be the "Tear down this wall!" line. Or maybe the "shiny America." And the intersexual thing was HILARIOUS too! I couldn't believe that President Bush could say that -- complete with a straight face.
See the video.
I don't know... I love it when people laugh at themselves. After all, if you can't laugh at yourself, what can you laugh at?
