There's a lot of controversy
about Stephen Colbert's performance at the White House Correspondent's Dinner last weekend. Personally, I don't get all
the hubbub. I mean, didn't they know who he was, what he did, before they called him up and said, "hey, wanna come
speak?"If you'd like to support Colbert, you can always watch his show, but now you can also get one of these T-shirts. They have a pic of Colbert on it and it says "Colbert Has Stones." Wear it proudly.
Also check out this site that has collected over 32,000 signatures from people who support Colbert.

Um, apparently not really.
From the lede of the New York Time follow-up story on the evening (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/03/arts/03colb.html):
"Mark Smith, a reporter for The Associated Press who is president of the White House Correspondents' Association, acknowledges that he had not seen much of Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central before he booked him as the main entertainment for the association's annual black-tie dinner on Saturday night."

Yeah, he's got stones, but I'd bet they only see action bouncing off some dude's chin.

I thought his routine was off base. I'm not a republican or democrat. I am fed up with both parties. But I find it offensive when someone tries to humiliate our President with our President sitting right there next to him!! I don't care who are President is. I believe in free speech, but one should use restrain when the President is your GUEST. Please!
