i watched this on cspan yesterday
i thought it was pretty funny, but like host said, no one was laughing too much. some of these issues are kind of serious...but perhaps they were having trouble with his humor, i don't know. i liked the line about mccain using a spoon to eat his salad and thought the beginning of the press conference audition tape was pretty funny.
was laura bush's "stand-up" act at the correspondents dinner last year? she told a few pretty funny stories.
right before colbert started, bush delivered a speech, alternating lines with an impersonator standing right next to him. that's probably worth watching too...i don't have a link for it, though.
