David Corn reports about the entertainment at the White House Correspondents Dinner, and the crowd's collective reaction to Stephen Colbert's ridicule of them all, Bush and the press.
"The audience was not appreciative of his close-to-the-bone laceration of Bush and the Washington press corps. His material was sharp, piercing. But too much for this crowd. (You can watch it here.) That said more about them than him. Practically everyone I later surveyed was sour on his performance."
