Yeah rscaper, but like I said, at least Bush took it gentlemanly (perhaps he didn't have a chance, since the room was packed with journalists who might have taken an alternative as an offense to them). And Colbert wasn't that funny, his gig was a big fade-to-black kinda thing.

In Bavaria we have a yearly event where all/most major politicians from both parties are present to watch a play that includes lookalikes for most/all of them performing the most ridiculous jokes (and even songs) possible.

I think the world would be a lot better place if Politicians could actually realise why people make jokes about them, but it seems to be a mutually exclusive set of skills, self-aggrandizing humour and political aspirations, possibly because one requires that you understand your own faults, and the other means never admitting that you have any except in a 'I used to be a sinner' kind of way.

Ah come on Flipside don't be so pessimistic.
