Colbert’s portrait up at Smithsonian, inspires young people to visit

Stephen Colbert’s portrait is on display at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Granted, it’s temporary, and on display between the two bathrooms. But it’s near the America’s President’s exhibit, and it’s the one he has on his show, with the three portraits in one.

I love this quote — it captures so many aspects of my generation:

“It’s kind of sad that this is the first time we’ve been here,” Canales said Wednesday as a steady stream of young admirers took their pictures with Colbert’s portrait.

“We might look at the rest of the museum, but we really came for Colbert,” Bexley said. “I needed a new Facebook picture, so it might as well be with Stephen Colbert.”
