Stephen Tyrone Colbert is an American comedian, satirist, actor and writer, known for his ironic style (particularly in his portrayal of uninformed opinion leaders), and for his deadpan comedic delivery.
On Saturday, April 29, 2006, Stephen Colbert was the featured entertainer for the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. Standing a few yards from U.S. President George W. Bush �in front of an audience the Associated Press called a "Who's Who of power and celebrity" � Colbert delivered a searing routine targeting the president and the media. In his politically conservative character from The Colbert Report, Colbert satirized the George W. Bush Administration and the White House press corps with such lines as:
� 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."
"...Don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of americans disapprove of the job this man is doing...does that also not mean that 68% of Americans approve of the job he is NOT doing..."
