Colbert Has Stones, Get Yours Now!
Stephen Colbert, of the "Colbert Report" was asked to speak at the White House Correspondents Dinner last weekend. I'm not sure who made that decision, but I'm really glad they did. Because it meant that President Bush (who was seated about 3 feet from Colbert) and the press-filled audience got to suffer through a mighty fine roasting. Colbert didn't just mock the Commander in Chief, he mocked his entire audience that night, and he did it with style. Not to mention he stayed in character the entire time.
Two of my favorite quotes from the speech:
I believe that the government that governs best is the government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.
and (to the press):
Write that novel you got kickin' around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration....you know, fiction.
All of the Mules really respect Colbert for his giant stones. We wanted to show our support for him in a visible way. Thus, the Colbert Has Stones tee:
Why don't you pop over to You Tube and watch the video of the speech?

NOOOOO KIDDING. I sat there watching the video the whole time with my hand over my mouth and my eyes wide vacillating between rising laughter and disbelief over what he was saying and a great fear that a secret service agent was going to take him out with a sniper rifle.
This shirt is a great addition to my Mule-designed closet.

Bravo, Mule! I, too, was utterly flabbergasted by the video, but am proud of Stephen. Stones - unimaginably large ones - are exactly what he must have.
