"What a week for our
president. Yesterday he lost his 'vetoginity' -- that a boy, George. And today,
after six years of silence, he finally stood up and testified at the NAACP
Convention in Washington. Now a lot of people assumed the president would get a
chilly reception. Wrong. The NAACP embraced him. The man got huge applause.
Take a look [on screen: Bush receiving applause after saying, 'I understand
many African Americans distrust my political party']. Showered with love."
--Stephen Colbert
"The stem cell
research bill passed both houses of Congress, but yesterday, the president
vetoed the bill surrounded by the so-called snowflake children. So named
because no two are alike, and they're all white. Snowflake children are the
product of frozen embryos that were adopted rather than discarded. They were
there to illustrate why embryonic stem cell research is wrong, even though
those children wouldn't exist if not for intensive embryonic research, but
let's not think about it." --Jon Stewart
On White House press
secretary Tony Snow classifying civilian casualties as a lamentable side effect
of war: "It's not murder, it's a lamentable side effect. The upset stomach
and diarrhea of freedom, if you will." --Jon Stewart
