Colbert Accomplishes Mission in Iraq

Stephen Colbert in flight suit

Stephen Colbert’s face has been sitting on the blog’s header for a reason. Next week the shows he recorded in Iraq will be aired. And next week’s issue of Newsweek is guest-edited by Colbert. (Note: the comments that are currently on the page at that link look like mine would if I weren’t so good about killing spam.)

Forty years ago, and for years more after that, I admired Charles Schulz and Stan Lee more than anybody else. My new idols are Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart.

Correction: Colbert arrived in Baghdad yesterday. There will be four shows, each aired the day it is produced as they are in NYC.

  1. OMIGOD! Can’t wait for the shows OR the sadly super-thin copy of “Newsweek.” Yes, I’ve noticed the downsizing of all printed matter.
