10. When I first saw the picture I immediately thought of Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson)...

..descending the staircase while striking a bizarre pose for the news cameras in the final scene of the classic movie, Sunset Boulevard.




The similarity is eerie, no?

12. Sic transit Gloria Swanson...

Thus passes the glory of the world a.k.a. "Fame is fleeting".

Fame has been fleeting, Laura. Infamy will last much, much longer.

I think I am ready for my close-up now, Chairman Conyers.

6. Thanks for posting - priceless! nt

[Wetzelbill]

8. Isn't it just classic Colbert?

The idea to satire an authoritarian Republican character like that is just brilliant. He nails RW delusional so well it's hilarious. :)

7. I can just see Freepers watching this and going "am I supposed to laugh?"

[Wetzelbill]

[The Count]

11. The "re-elected" one was stridently wrong. The rest - brilliant!

13. Count, you're right on there

maybe Colbert should have said "I got into office doing what you didn't: get elected"
