Bush attended the annual White House reporters’ banquet Saturday night. Faux-reporter and self-deemed superpatriot Stephen Colbert gave a shockingly satirical speech, totally in character.

The so-called “MSM” chose not to discuss the speech, preferring to report on the banquet with footage of Bush himself appearing in a comedy skit with a lookalike. But online videos and transcripts of Colbert’s performance spread all over. As have bloggers’ responses to it.

A freshly-minted “Thank You Stephen Colbert” fan-blog has logged more than 10,000 responses from grateful viral-video viewers. (Say that five times fast.)
