Comment on When Stephen Colbert had The Colbert Report did the right ever realize he was doing a parody of them?
Dubya Bush brought him to the presidential dinner unironically
The WHCA invited him - and organize the entire event. Bush didn’t have anything to do with it. They definitely knew who he was and that the character was satirical.
This. They knew he was a satirist, they just didn’t expect him to bring weapons-grade jester’s privilege.
Oh yeah, totally. I was thinking that after I posted it. They knew what they were getting but were shocked at what they got.
