Dan Froomkin has a great roundup in today's WAshington Post on the ongoing media reaction to allegations that there was an attempt to downplay Colbert's speech by giving more play to Bush's sketch with the impersonator.

My, sometimes I think I go a little overboard with the "Shorts" around here, but that is quite a roundup on a single performance.

FWIW - and given how much commentary there is out there already on this, that's admittedly not much at all - I do think Colbert was more daring than funny, but that doesn't make his appearance - as an event - any less fascinating.
