POTUS Issues Executive Order
June 9th, 2009 | by moodmonster

The thought of Gen. MacArthur giving Bob Hope a buzz cut upon an direct order from Harry Truman during the Korean War is disturbing on many levels. So why is this clip of the POTUS ordering the host of the Colbert Report a high-and-tight so funny?

Could it be because the Korean War inspired the film M*A*S*H, which starred Elliot Gould, who hosted Saturday Night Live, cathedral to Father Guido Sarducci, alter ego of Don Novello and huge influence to Stephen Colbert?

Or is it the WWE-esque clippers coming out, plugged in and ready to go?

Either way, there’s something to be said for the chain of command.

    This video was brilliant. Everyone needs a good laugh and I don’t mind the President showing his human side. Also, I love the Mash reference from moddmonster. Hadn’t thought about that.
