Stephen Colbert spares no one at White House Correspondents dinner

Faux right-wing newscaster Stephen Colbert takes on a host of targets, including the President, a Supreme Court justice, various generals and others on domestic spying, the media, Iraq and more at the White House Correspondents Dinner April 29. The speech concludes with a hilarious chase around Washington in which Colbert is stalked by a microphone wielding Helen Thomas.
