Nation,
Tonight President Obama NAILED IT. The man had the audacity to take over the On Notice Board and put DISTRACTIONS on top in place of gunshot victim James Brady, leaving a stunned yet jubilant Colbert no choice but to sign off:
Good Night Philadelphia! We've told you how to think; now go vote!
Speaking of guns, it would be great if they had a combat veteran endorse him. Oh wait... is that Congressman Murphy of Pennsylvania? Isn't he the only member of congress to serve in Iraq? Who's he supporting? Obama? Well check that off our "To Do" list.
The only thing left would be to close the show with a giant visual of Barack Obama looming over Colbert and grinning. Oh wait.... they did!
On Notice and Nailed! That's a two-fer! What do they say about the best? Oh yeah...save the best for last!
Say "Good Night" Gracie. Good Night? Are you kidding? GREAT NIGHT!
Sure, Hilary Clinton did a walk on and fixed the big screen for Stephen. But that was about as funny as watching SNL. No interactions. No policy issues. No risk. No pain. No gain. No beef! Besides, she had all the warmth of John McCain and all the spontaneity of ... Hilary Clinton. Nice to know you're so handy with technology. If we need someone to fix an election we'll call you.
John Edwards, on the other hand, tackled sacred ground. The man deserves high marks for technical difficulty alone. With the EdWords ® he proved words do matter and that unlike Clinton, he is capable of fearlessly facing a bullet ..... point! Even an uppity one like that red one that snipes at Stephen. So what if he couldn't keep a straight face, his hair was perfect! Buy that man a jet ski!
But seriously. If he is choosing between embracing Hope or avoiding getting bit by Carville.... he is voting for Obama when the NC primary rolls around.
Tip of the Hat to John Edwards for gracefully taking his hat out of the VP ring. He laid out his bill of particulars and told folks exactly what it would take to buy his vote. The VP slot was not on his wish list. That leaves only one person from the show left in the running. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...... I don't want to give anything away here... so just let me say we all look forward to watching the Colbert Report from it's new location in the Old Executive Office Building.
Well that's the show. Truly historic TV. Looks like we can retire the Nailed It Award too. Barack won it hands down for getting the last lick... and demonstrating he has what it takes to keep this nation safe, because he knows the number one threat to America is ..... BEARS.
Sorry Al, looks like global warming is going to have to wait because somewhere in an undisclosed location near the White House, Hell just froze over :)

And now a word from our sponsors...
Well folks, if you enjoyed the show you know this kind of inspired talent needs viewer support. What did you think of that video hookup? First rate wasn't it? We all know scripts don't write themselves and satellites don't run on fairy dust. If you want to see more of this kind of historic TV, we need to hear from viewers like you.
C'mon you elitist idealists. Are you tired of flag pins sticking in your craw? Don't bother writing letters of complaint to the Press Corps(e). Send receipts instead! Dig down in those pockets and drop $20.08 in the hat. I realize it's easier to cut a check for $20, but we are asking you to dig a little deeper.... because CHANGE MATTERS.
