7. Oh, man, that bit with Obama
was hilarious! Gotta love a President who can joke about his big ears.

And then give an order - on The Colbert Report!!!

How cool.

Colbert is a goddamn treasure ..............................

13. Hey, it is USO - aimed at military people
including generals. Besides, you have to give it to him to play his part.

15. Amen. When I was stationed at Ft. Sam, Westmoreland 'reviewed' us (HQ Company).
I was in the "honor guard" (because I knew the manual of arms cold) and I've NEVER heard a more boring, hoe-handle-up-the-butt, humorless speaker in my entire life. From then on, it was easy to believe every criticism I'd ever heard of the guy. A total ass.

19. There are exceptions but they are few and far between.
Edited on Tue Jun-09-09 12:25 AM by ShortnFiery
When I was a lowly ROTC Summer Camp participant (we hadn't signed a contract yet), many people in our unit disliked our Company Commander. He was just too much ... won't explain save to say "Frank Burns."

To get even, when the Post General came for a "munitions demonstration" we were supposed to stand up and identify our company motto.

Our approved motto was: Bravo Fifteen Four! We bring SMOKE! SMOKE! SMOKE! SMOKE!

Instead we greeted the General with: Bravo Fifteen Four! We smoke DOPE! DOPE! DOPE! DOPE! :wow:

That was the first and only time that I observed a General *speechless.* :evilgrin:

5. Well, Obama just ordered Stephen to shave his head
Or, rather, ordered Gen. Odiorno to shave Stephen's head.

9. Can you imagine Fuckface
being able to pull off something like that? Humorless prick.

Things have changed, indeed - The Colbert Report broadcasting from one of Saddam Hussein's palaces.

Isn't that just amazing?

Now, bring them all home ........................

10. Last week some DUers were worried that the military
wouldn't "get" Colbert.
I think they did.
