Stephen Colbert has become famous for saying uncomfortable things in uncomfortable situations. He does it again here with a nice "Formidable Opponent" on his Middle Eastern USO swing on the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy. The Huffington Post quibbles that he has used much harsher rhetoric on the topic in the past, but I think he strikes just the right balance and very elegantly unravels the absurdity of the policy and its complete lack of a meaningful rationale.
On the minus side, the Supreme Court
refused to hear a challenge to the policy this week. The Obama administration is having a hard time getting a move on with this one, and this doesn't help.
Anyhow, pretty funny that George H.W. Bush introduces the segment! Guess he doesn't mind how many times his son got skewered on the Colbert rapier.
Nice Haircut, Stevie!
