I can't help but think that somehow, Bush used this as an opportunity
to show what a stand-up guy he is-that he knows he is in trouble and
is willing to let himself be taken to task in some kind of public

giving Colbert a lot of credit for telling the truth.
And Bush ends up getting credit-raising his esteem in the eyes of
all-because he was willing to listen, even put his arm around this guy.
