    Anything that focuses attention on the fact that we still have troops in harm's way is good. He's a good egg.

    There's a special place in hell for those who pretend blatant self-promotion is "entertaining the troops."


    Add "one-trick pony" to Colbert's list of sins and I'd say he's damned to an eternity of late night at basic cable.

    I guess it wasn't Colbert or we would have known about it. He can't take a piss without alerting the media.

    @Frecklepup: Bob Hope aired his USO shows too -- they just didn't have the tech to do it instantly, like Colbert.


    Looks like he put on a show that the troops are enjoying. Add that to the Iraq-centric Newsweek he "guest edited" and the constant fundraising for military causes, and your claim what he's just doing this for publicity comes across as rather hollow.

    it's inspiring to watch this. reminds me of how many kids are still over there, and the depth of their commitment to being of service. and kudos to colbert for bringing home to them.

    I'm in Afghanistan, but I've been following the story on the news and online. Everyone I know here has been getting a huge kick out of it. It's nice to see a liberal really do something for the soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and not just talk about it.


    In a week where the murder in Little Rock of PVT William Long by a religious extremist was virtually ignored by the mainstream media in favor of another religious extremist murder, it's nice to remind the American public that there still are two wars going on, and that they're very real to the people living them. Iraq may be winding down, but fatalities in Afghanistan are rising.

So thanks for the good wishes, but don't worry about me here. The most dangerous thing I do every day is walk to lunch.

    @Adah: Not to pick nits, dude, but liberals have not been lax in supporting troops - from FDR's GI bill that still provides educational benefits, to fixing Walter Reed Hospital. One of the most egregious canards foisted on the American psyche is the idea that conservatives have a lock on the wise administration of US defense. BTW, while Ronald Reagan was serving in the US First Motion Picture unit during WWII, he was an active trade unionist member of the Democratic Party.

    @old math: Absolutely! Who do these workers think they are. I say $18 an hour is too good for them! While we're at it let's get rid of the minimum wage and prevailing wage. After all, the 22 predominately "red" right-to-work states (states that have essentially killed off what is incorrectly referred to as "union wages" by the big, evil lib-ril press) like Mississippi and Oklahoma are the best damn states in the country! That's why they have absolutely no problem recruiting welders from union states -- because they can just import them from India temporarily and hose them in labor camps in places like Pascagoula under the H2-B visa. Whoo hoo! Viva Milton Friedman! The invisible hand rulez!

    However, I'm sure they took a car service to the airport, that undoubtedly used a Lincoln. All is now OK in the world.

    After arriving at the airport union bosses allowed Speaker Pelosi and Leader Reid to kneel and kiss their rings. In a brief statement U.A.W. President Gettelfinger simplys said "Dude, in case you missed November 4th, we run this thing now. Mulally, Wagoner and Nardelli are taking cars because we said so. Like I'm really going to drive. Next you'll say that I should maybe actually work on an assembly line!" The union leaders are expected to inform the Illuminati that they have been deposed later today.
