ED.gov posts photos of Sec. Duncan’s visit to ‘The Colbert Report’

You’ve gotta love “the internets” some days. Like, the days when the Secretary of Education posts his photos from a couple of face-offs with Stephen Colbert.

From ED.gov, here’s the traditional green room photo (click on the images for the full sized versions):

Green Room with Arne Duncan and Stephen Colbert

Stephen’s tie in this one made me smile; it doesn’t quite seem to want to cooperate with his desire to shoot hoops. For some reason, I’m reminded of that Conan interview when Stephen explained that he was good at sports … like hacky sack.

Arne Duncan and Stephen Colbert - Nothin' but net

This one might be my favorite of the action shots. I don’t know why, but I think it’s because Stephen’s clearly well on his way to horizontal, and Duncan looks like he’s just enjoying the show.

    These are so great! The last picture of him in mid-air is hilarious :), even though he looks like he’s about to do a face-plant onto the pavement.
    Thanks for posting these! :D

    And that Conan interview you linked to is one of my very favorite Colbert interviews. =)

    These pics are great. I feel like Arne is critiqueing Colbert’s form in the first one- it’s a little off but he’s so adorable it just doesn’t matter!

    One thing has me wondering…why the two different color ties? Is one a “sport” tie to match the trim on his shorts and the other for the show? Typically, it’s the same tie all show. :)

  8. Fabulous pics! I was laughing so hard when he was wearing white athletic socks with his shiny black shoes. Seriously, he makes everything look good.

    Finally went to the website for the rest of the pics. Awesome. The stance on education is a good read, too.
