From his 2006 speech/routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, speaking to then president George Bush: > Now, I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32 percent approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in reality. And reality has a well-known liberal bias... His whole thing was phenomenal: [VIDEO]

> Stephen Colbert made the joke "Reality has a well known liberal bias" Video (queued up): [VIDEO] It's always pretty depressing to go back and watch this or old Colbert Report episodes and realize how parts are incredibly "evergreen", sometimes you don't even need to change out the names.
