Colbert started off his week long tour of Iraq with a bang last nite thanks to a riotous surprise visit by President Obama.
UPDATE: The Colbert Show just told me this week's proceeds go to helping Vets - By simply clicking on the clip you'll generate cash for a GREAT cause!
► But don’t stop here – there’s some really neat treats below, some which may only be seen here.

Bonus Segment #1
► Bo dragging the President around the White House
► "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr Rodgers."
► The President's very witty secretary, Katie Johnson, tries on a Pittsburgh Steeler helmet
► Greeting G.Is. and their children. It's very touching how the soldiers
ALWAYS bring their spouses and children to meet the President. I don't remember that happening during the past eight years.
► Marine One landing at the Great Pyramids.
► The President was mobbed by tourist as well as State Department personal and their families.
► Rahm and Reggie Love riding camels.
► Riyahd
► King Abudlla presenting President Obama with the Saudi version of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. You know that MUST be killing Shurb, especially as vain and deluded as he is. Here's Barack only five months in office, receiving the highest honor, and Bush didn't get squat. Abdullah even said (GET THIS), "the American people are represented by a distinguished man who deserves to be in this position." HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
► Who doesn't love Hillary!
► The President flying over Pointe du Hoc and Omaha beach.
► With Max Cleland
► Simply incredible: Michelle with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy
► Visiting a D.C. prep academy. You can see President Clinton at Obama's top right.
► From left to right: Lincoln, Health Care Czar Nancy-Ann DeParle, Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr., Obama.
► Cheese!

Bonus Segment #2
► GOP in Disarray: Gingrich says Palin is too stoopid to run!!
In an interview with Christiany Today (of all places), Gingrich said Palin doesn't have the sufficient knowledge to run for the Presidency:
Sarah Palin has an obvious role if she wants it.
***
[But] is she willing to do the kind of development of national issues and development of a national profile that would be required?
***
I think to go from there to becoming a national leader would take a significant amount of work.

Hilarious!
Newt has a point. Palin is a grown person who doesn't know Africa is a continent. She doesn't even know what countries comprise North America.
