[Colbert] criticized reporters for likening Mr. Bush’s recent staff changes to “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.” “This administration is not sinking,” Mr. Colbert said; “this administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg.”
From report on Stephen Colbert’s speech at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last Saturday.
“At the recent Washington Correspondents’ Dinner, master comedian Stephen Colbert performed magnificently. With the rapier of wit and the mace of truth, he respectively skewered and censured the presidency of “dum’ass botch”.
Talk about wonderful lagniappe! Mr Colbert made that nincompoop’s lap dogs in our national conventional media run for cover with their tail between their legs. And that’s not all our man accomplished.
Tucked away in his address to the dinner’s flabbergasted attendees, like a ticking time bomb, there was an ‘easter egg’, which we had absolutely . . . here ‘we’ is a polite nod . . . NO right to expect. Like the Easter Bunny in a mischievous mood, Mr Colbert camouflaged a bon mot, so profound as to approach philosophical.
oh, before I reveal Mr Colbert’s casual accomplishment, I should like to preface with a caveat. The appropriate interpretation of that remark requires sagacity an– . . .”
oh, alright (!) already, I’ll admit it. The above text is meant to serve as “bait” for the dear Reader’s curiosity. Yes, I would like people to visit my blog. And why not?! The average visitor is bound to find one or two startling insights. What’s more, it’s a good bet that more than a few visitors will discover that I evoke with the written word thought, hitherto more, well, tantalizing than articulated.

. . . oh, yeah, I should add that the full title for that post is “rehabilitation of and by and for the right wing” . . . by the bye, depending on visitor’s essentiality, one might be either heartened or dismayed by one, or two, of my easter eggs.
