The Colbert Report - Videos - National Treasure Part I









  • The reason I have decided to
    share this clip is because it reminded me of the Magna Carta
    Auction bookmark.  In this video Stephen Colbert decides to
    try to donate his portrait to the Smithsonian in Washington. In
    trying to 'convince' them (the Smithsonian) to allow his portrait
    to be hung, he ridicules some of America's national treasures. It
    relates to the Magna Carta because it is ironic what people place
    value on. i.e. The paper that the document was written on, not the
    ideals the Manga Carta helped to convey, or a dead president's
    possessions.
