Watch Colbert's show tonight ASAP - the lead in was hysterically funny - he had on a special guest

(honestly, when it comes to the lead - in monologue I was tickled, but I could not laugh, he was too spot on)
and absolutely phenomenal.

He addressed the issue of being cautious before starting new wars, reminding us that lack of caution and not having a strategy in place was exactly what we had the last time, so it should not pose any problems. Of course he did it ever so much more funny than I can re-tell it - but then he should, he has that grand job based on sheer personal merit

He talked about how Frank Underwood would handle this, and showed actual quotes from Fox hires at the mike and some Repubes about how Frank Underwood would handle this.
Then Frank Underwood walked on stage and had a discussion with Colbert about the situation. He was in full character.

I love Kevin Spacey
