If the idea that Stephen Colbert was given a public forum to bring comedy central programming to the president doesn’t scare you, watch these videos: (The videos were taken down from YouTube, but you can watch it on this site: FreeVideoBlog.)

Stephen Colbert is, easily, the most brilliant political satirist in the country today.
I might’ve not understand everything correctly, but didn’t this guy made a fool out of the president?
Max,
I think you got the flavor of the video. I’m not sure how funny the video is (it is almost painful to watch), but in terms of shock value, I’m not sure it gets much higher…

Dustin, What is the purpose of a strike out such as the one you have in this post over “watch these videos”?
Thanks Dustin. I am sarcastic kinda guy myself – saying stuff with straight face and laughing inside myself. Mostly people around don’t get my humor.. I’m not sure which part entertains me the most, but I like keeping up my @$$hole image – so nobody gets confused :)haha. I haven’t finished watching the movie because I’m not in politics and couldn’t understand a lot of his jokes.. I was just curious – did they shoot him in the face or security guys just dragged him off the stage? :)lol I really enjoed GWB laughing at the beginning and looking not so happy later – really funny 🙂
Ardell, it’s the way that bloggers show what was originally there without misleading people. People originally saw that it was available at YouTube, then it wasn’t. Dustin didn’t want to keep sending people there, but he also didn’t want people to wonder where the link went.
Ardell,
Galen hit it just right… the original source for the videos went offline, so I deleted it and put up a new link!

But what is it about “blog etiquette” or ethics that says you can’t just delete the words instead of strike out? Is there a list of rules like this somewhere that says you lose “credibility” if you change a post on a blog? Who made up the rules and why do bloggers have to follow them?
Ardell,
We’re still making up the “rules and etiquette” as we go along…
The “delete” issue stems from the logic that a blog post should really be part of a larger conversation and the second you hit “publish” someone might be out there quoting you! So if you are going to change something around, it is good form to let your readers know.

I think it’s annoying when you’ve read or forwarded an article and it has changed, even if it’s only cosmetics. It’s hard to tell if someone is hiding something or why they changed it if text just disappears.
