Stephen Colbert: Was he funny or not?

I saw Jon (Stewart) and Stephen talking about the White House Correspondent's Dinner on Jon's show, before the actual event took place. Later I saw some of the TV reports showing Bush and Bush lookalike poking fun at the President and the politicians. But never saw anything about Stephen. I had totally forgotten about Stephen and the dinner speech.

This weekend, I chanced to read on Yahoo Buzz, the furor bloggers were creating regarding the Mainstream media (MSM - I learnt a new acronymn and also learnt several things about Video blogging [:d]) ignoring Stephen's speech.

So I Googled and found the Video clip. I am a fan of Stephen Colbert, and the speech did not appear to be innovative or creative. It was just the [b]usual Stephen[/b] that one saw in "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" or the "The Colbert Report". Nothing new.

I expected he would be littler more funnier or [b]different [/b]. It was kind of audacious though.

Did you see it? Did you think MSM ignored it? Was Steve funny?
