Colbert shows media who's boss

Colbert shows media who's boss -- Newsday.com:

"Colbert was no laughing matter to the Washington press corps. In a delicious touch of irony, he later said on his TV show that the adoring Washington audience 'practically carried me out on their shoulders, even though I wasn't ready to go.' During the evening of frivolity, Colbert's biting wit lanced the illicit relationship between the media and those they are charged to cover.

Bush has sunk beneath the possibility of satire; the media must be careful not to stumble beyond the reach of irony."
