Worth a thousand words (and megabucks)

"The Colbert Report" marked its first anniversary on Comedy Central Tuesday night with host Stephen Colbert giving up his schmaltzy portrait-within-a-portrait set piece for an even more self-indulgent one with three Colbert images. The old one is being auctioned on eBay with proceeds going to Save the Children, a remarkably non-partisan choice for the pseudo-rightwing pundit he portrays. Bidding was up to $5,200 by Wednesday morning, and it closes at 9 p.m. Pacific on 10/27.
