An interesting piece of trivia that most everyone knows is that the Smithsonian has Dorothy's Ruby Slippers* on display. Dorothy Gale of course was played by Judy Garland in the famous film, The Wizard of Oz.
Another very famous piece of Americana has been donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. The immensely patriotic, one-piece, stars and stripes jumpsuit worn by Stephen at the historic Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear was, yes indeed, donated to the Smithsonian on Wednesday's show.
And the boots, too. So that puts Dorothy's Ruby Slippers and Stephen's White Boots on equal footing (oh the pun of it all) in one of the most famous museums of all time and space.
Brent Glass, Director of the National Museum of American History, was on The Colbert Report to accept the donation from Stephen Colbert.
Can you stand some more excitement in one posting? The famous portrait of Stephen Colbert will be going back on display at the very same Museum of American History on December 26, 2010. Could there be anything better to happen this Holiday Season?
