Klassic Kolbert – Daily Show Edition: IRAQ!

This Week in God! Even Stephvens! Desk Interviews! Field Reports! All of the Daily Show reminiscing that you want in a convenient weekly post!

Hello Zoners! Well, the Iraq trip was a resounding success. With the buzzcut (hawt!), the camo suit (awesome!), and the sheer admiration and respect that Stephen has for the military was truly moving. Let me tell you, I’ve been waiting to be able to do this round-up for a while, so without further ado, let’s get to it!

This first clip, featuring a Stephen noticably more reluctant to go to Iraq, is one of my favorites, in part due to the appearance of the cave troll action figure.

Mess O’Potamia – Bobble Embed – Stephen Colbert is almost attacked by an Iraqi troll insurgent.

Tongue-tied Stephen being called out. Need I say more?

The New Iraq – The U.S. government-issued playing cards may not be helpful in finding Iraqi fugitives, but they’re great collectibles.

A missile put in the microwave and set on ‘popcorn’? Sounds tasty.

Missile Destruction – Stephen Colbert believes it’s a huge waste to destroy the missiles with a bulldozer.

In thisl clip, Stephen narrowed down Saddam Hussein’s trial location possibilities to the only place that would have been both neutral and would have allowed him within their borders.

Analyzing Saddam’s Trial – Saddam Hussein’s trial is unprecedented. Think about it: Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Darth Vader — none of these great villains have ever stood trial for their crimes.

In this final clip, in response to Rob Riggle’s own USO trip to Iraq, we have a toss in which Stephen ups the metaphorical ante and claims he’s taking the whole Report “overseas.”

Silent Blunder – Not to be outdone, Stephen is doing his show from Afghanistan this week.

Enjoy both this post and this week of shows, because I have a feeling it’s going to get even better!
