This one here:

http://movies.crooksandliars.com/WH-Dinner-Colbert.wmv

Broadband recommended, it's about a 15 minute clip, nearly 10 megs. I haven't watched it all yet, but the first five minutes or so are quite, ummm, pointed.

(Btw, I'm told Colbert's speech was cowritten by a former CNET editor, Rob Dubbin, who went to work for the Colbert Report last September.)
I can't find the link to the video there anymore, only to the US News article.
do a Google search for Colbert Correspondent's Dinner.  I'd like to find the best one myself.  So far, they've been kinda spotty.

My (ex-)boss just sent that around here this morning. We need a good laugh around here about now.

A classic.  I'm usually a bit luke-warm about Assmussen, the the first pane in this one is undeniably great.  And the 24 reference was pretty cool too.

That, and the 'no partial mirth' bit just killed me.  And the Bronski Beat.

Not from the 'net, but a friend of mine sends me the occasional unpublished humor piece:

Quote
The Recording Industry Association of America announced today it would be expanding its crackdown on copyright infringement by suing family members, hitchhikers and carpoolers.
 
Lawyers for the RIAA maintain that the radio in each car was never meant to be listened to by anyone else except the original owner of the vehicle.
 
Therefore, any additional passengers who listen to music on the radio in another individual's car are doing so illegally and without the express permission of the copyright holders of the respective songs that are broadcast. RIAA attorneys were preparing to go to Federal District courts across the country to have subpoenas issued to every car maker in America in the hopes of forcing them to disclose the names and addresses of all purchasers from the last 20 years.
 
"We think this is a no brainer," said an RIAA spokesperson who declined to be identified. "These drivers have been illegally sharing music on their radios and their passengers have been getting a free ride for way too long," he continued.
 
Legal representatives for the RIAA also warned that they would especially be targeting the "big fish" like charter bus drivers and RV owners who blatantly turn up the radio volume allowing others to hear.
 
In addition, RIAA lawyers said they were hoping to get a court order to exhume the bodies of Scottish physicist James Clerk-Maxwell, who developed the theory of electromagnetic waves and Guglielmo Marconi, who discovered and harnessed wireless radio in order to sue both corpses for unfair business practices.

OK... she's very white, but clearly the crowd liked it.  Coulda been worse -- she coulda done "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp"!

i think that would have been funnier. it's not the rapping that's bad (although it is) - it's the fact that she chose to do it. does she feel that out of touch with the yewts of today? so what if the class of 2006 has never even heard of "the hotel new hampshire?"

this could be in the sports thread too, I guess. Peter Hartlaub's dissection of Shaq (as an "artist", not a basketball player) in today's Chron:
