    Stephen Colbert tearing the Bush Administration a new asshole right in the faces of every important person in the United States. The jokes/criticisms go pretty deep and some are a bit hard to understand because he hides them well and it's been a good five and a half years.

    His speech ends at around the 16 minute mark, if you have the time then please watch all of it (if you haven't already).
    If you didn't know, Stephen Colbert is a satirist who plays the character of a caricatured conservative pundit that, throught praise, highlights its failings.

    A. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was amazing, though I don't know how it would rank among all time speeches. Probably best American speech though. Sidenote, it's very ironic what the posting above me is.
