Satira

Strepitosa cena dei corrispondenti della Casa Bianca, presenti Bush e moglie e imitatore di Bush. E, punto alto della serata, Colbert, un comico della TV americana, con battute spietate su tutta l'amministrazione. Leggetevi il transcript o guardate il video (RealPlayer, la parte interessante inizia circa 1:06:30): merita.

I miei passaggi preferiti:

1. I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.
   
2. So the White House has personnel changes. Then you write, "Oh, they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic." First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!
   
3. I believe in democracy. I believe democracy is our greatest export. At least until China figures out a way to stamp it out of plastic for three cents a unit.
   
4. Now, I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32% approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in "reality." And reality has a well-known liberal bias. Sir, pay no attention to the people who 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.
