ED GORDON, host: It was a tough act to follow at the annual dinner of the White House      Correspondents' Association.  First lady Laura Bush stole the show.  She      got big laughs with jabs at the president, including his tendency to get      to bed by nine.  So no one envied comedian and actor Cedric the      Entertainer, who had to follow her show-stealing performance.  But being      the pro that he is, Ced stepped up to the plate.</s>CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER: Lord.  The president's got, you know, his main      girl with him, Condoleezza Rice.  Condi, how are you?  Con-Condoleezza.      I love that name, Condoleezza.  It's so soulful.  You know, she's very      professional, but Condoleezza--come on, right there.  Condoleezza.  It's      two people, though.

Then there's the Leezza.</s>CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER: She the one with her hair wrapped up on the      phone with her girlfriend watching BET, talking about...</s>CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER: Girl!  Ain't that a surprise?
