Thank you Stephen Colbert

From Stephen Colbert's speech at the Press Dinner:
So, Mr. President, please, pay no attention to the people that say the glass is ... half empty, because 32% means it's 2/3 empty. There's still some liquid in that glass is my point, but I wouldn't drink it. The last third is usually backwash.

This was not anywhere near close to the high point of the speech, but I do like the way he referred to w's supporters as backwash. We can all agree that backwash is a fitting moniker, right? If you didn't get a chance to see the speech live via CSPAN, no worries. I'm pretty sure the video is all over the internets. So enjoy.

And if you want to send Colbert a word of thanks -

Now Democrats in the Senate, its time to nut up. If Colbert can stand two feet away from W and deliver that speech, when it was clear the audience wanted him to stop, I think you can support Feingold's censure. Stop acting like you need more information. W violated the specific statutory prohibition on warrantless wire taps (verbatim from Feingold's resolution) and it is your responsiblity to the rest of us to support the resolution to censure him. We NEED you to stop fucking around.
