See Stephen Colbert’s Portrait at Washington’s National Gallery Bathroom
In case you missed last night’s Colbert Report, here is the exciting conclusion of the 3 part series involving Colbert trying to give his self portraits within a self portrait to the walls of history. First Colbert visited the Smithsonian where he viewed historic items such as Abraham Lincoln’s hat, George Washington’s army uniform and Helen Keller’s watch. The last one allowed for a classy joke where Stephen asked, how did Helen Keller tell time? That was awesome, I haven’t heard a Helen Keller joke since high school.
Ultimately the Smithsonian did not accept Stephen Colbert’s self portrait; deflated and in despair he then went two blocks down to the National Gallery. There he viewed portraits of American icons such as Jack Kerouac, Upton Sinclair and Andy Warhol. In the end Stephen visited the Hall of Presidents and to his delight his portrait was accepted to be displayed just one room away from George Washington’s portrait, in front of the bathrooms! That’s right, Washington’s National Gallery has agreed to allow Colbert’s self portraits within a self portrait to be their bathroom decoration for 6 weeks. So like Stephen said, it’s never been a better time to take a whiz in Washington!

Hey Alex! Well Colbert is indeed a clown, but even in his “clownishness” he still makes some sense.
But when being respectful to other Presidents, he does doeserve a spot where most dry their hands.
