Prez GW seeks counsel from one of his smaller assistants.
The White House Correspondent’s Association dinner, broadcast on C-Span, proved to be pretty edgy last night. After Prez GW spoke with a Bush impersonator at his side, Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert launched into a routine in his faux right-wing talk show personae that seemed to leave Bush pretty red-faced and unsmiling. Probably one of the funniest moments though came when Colbert acknowledged Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in the audience. Colbert flicked his hand under his chin while hailing Scalia, mocking the gesture the Italian-American justice made recently to a reporter that was a subject of controversy. Scalia apparently found Colbert’s joke funny.
