Bush as Victim, Colbert as Bully? NOT!

The Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen's May 5th column calling Stephen Colbert's performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner 'rude' angered me, but I often disagree with Cohen. Then I read Robert Parry's Colbert & the Courtier Press at consortiumnews.com. Parry explains my anger to me: I've watched and listened to the press corps give Bush a pass for five years of deception, but Colbert called them mere stenographers. The journalists gave Bush and his imposter a hearty laugh, but were afraid to be shown laughing at a very funny, biting Colbert.
Parry ends his article with a wonderful sentence: "Only the likes of Richard Cohen could see George W. Bush as the victim and Stephen Colbert as the bully."
