I was shocked to see that Colbert had actually had his hair cut completely off. I just couldn’t imagine him doing that. I also thought Obama would catch it from all sides from doing that.

While I don’t care for BHO, being part of the USO show is a good thing.

Bravo for Colbert its awesome that he went to Iraq to entertain the troops. I have to say that I have been impressed by all the things he has done for the troops and even though he may not have agreed with us going over there he hasn’t allowed it to poison him and he does do what is most important and that is supporting the guys and gals that are overseas in harms way. Again Bravo Zulu Colbert.
