1. Was it just me . . .

or did Colbert sound like he was on the verge of tears as he began the interview with SSgt Giunta?

He then cracked a typical Colbert smart-ass remark, and his voice cleared up. But I think our friend Stephen is quite overwhelmed with Giunta.

2. Yes

that was the straightest interview I have ever seen him give.
Very touching.

3. I'll be sure to catch the rebroadcast, thanks.

I'm not surprised that Stephen played it straight. I think the CMOH is about as close as the American people get to a "sacred cow", and rightly so.

4. I was crying and laughing....a great interview,
