WASHINGTON -- The line outside the bathroom at the National Portrait Gallery has been out the door ever since museum officials decided to hang a portrait of late-night host Stephen Colbert between the men's and women's restrooms."The lines have been extraordinary," museum director Marc Pachter said Monday as he prepared to end his 33-year tenure with the Smithsonian Institution. "A friend e-mailed that it was good I was leaving with my dignity."
Colbert, who plays an egotistical conservative talk show host on his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report," has made a running joke of his campaign to get his portrait into the Smithsonian.
