Colbert's portrait hanging in the National Portrait Gallery


Stephen Colbert has successfully managed to get his portrait into the National Portrait Gallery, there to hang next to other important images like portraits of the founding fathers and the sign saying "all employees must wash hands before returning to work."
The article is pretty funny as it cites Colbert's "sack work" as very persuasive and instrumental in getting his portrait hung there.
Of course, the portrait is only there for six weeks and is NOT joining the gallery's collection (not YET, as we hope).
