And libertarians everywhere shuddered at once at the blatant abuse of power...

So did anyone else shudder when the men and women of the armed forces applauded the suggestion of a military coup just a little too long?

everyone enjoys the lighter side... nicely done

I don't think so. Stephen didn't say no to Odierno, he just demanded someone higher-ranking than a 4-star general make the request.

Once Obama made the request, using force to hold Colbert to his verbal contract became a-okay.

This made me stamp my bare feet on my fake hardwood floor. I kinda feel like this is an epic moment in history.

What, no finished results of the hair cut?

Didn't seem like the Obama thing was live, son.

^ We'll probably see that video pop up soon. Give it time.

With the current late show wars going on I know Leno/Conan/Letterman/Fallen would kill to have the President do a segment like that.

that was soooo scripted. didn't find it funny at all because of that. it's a good thing obama doesn't take himself too seriously, but still: too scripted.

^Think he was using a teleprompter?

Yeah, and it was obvious too. You can see his eyes following the bouncing ball.

I'm gonna be smiling for the next four goddamn years -- and hopefully four more after those four!

I dont watch Colbert, but, I have to say, if it made the troops laugh, and even more so, with the Presidental order, I'm fine with that. Its good, when everyone gathered has some good clean fun. Mr. Colbert showed up a few days ago on the sift, with his new hair style to 'high 5' a principle who is serving in Irag. That guy, was giving a commencement speech to his high school graduation class. I did not reconize Mr. Colbert at first.

The video is on the sift....somewhere.
