For those that missed The Colbert Report last night he is doing a three part series on trying to get a painting of himself in the Smithsonian.

A curator was leading him through the museum and stops to point out a really important display. TJ’s desk. The one he wrote that Declaration of Independence thing on. Of course Stephen took the proper approach and said, “Do you think TJ ever had sex with Sally Hemming on that desk?”

Was that joke in good humor? If you were a UVA cartoonist would you be allowed to make such a joke? I thought it was funny. Now…what do I think is the answer? I’d have to say no, since it was a very small desk, and TJ certainly wasn’t small…
