OMG Stephen! "Commander in Pointless."

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/10/17/colbert-asks-viewers-to-save-paul-ryan-with-the-photo-ops-he-desperately-needs/


“Ryan’s town hall ran a little late, so he missed homeless breakfast,” Colbert said. “What’s he supposed to do — charity on the needy’s schedule?”



“This is Paul,” Colbert said, as a photo of Ryan appeared next to him. “Some day he wants to be vice president of the United States. But he needs your help. For just a few minutes a day, you can provide Paul with the photo ops he desperately needs to look like he cares. Anything you give will help. A handful of orphans to stand near. A disabled vet to wave at. Even a homeless man to pet. Won’t you call now and help this young man live up to his dreams of cutting all your government funding?”
