Stephen Colbert said last night that he approves of Iran’s plan to outlaw certain types of haircuts, including ponytails and mullets, in order to “rid the country of ‘western decadent cuts.'”

“From now on,” he said, mullets “will be known as business in the front, infidel in the back.”

Colbert added that he also supports Republicans “for their strict haircut guidelines.” There’s ‘The Boehner,” modeled by John Boehner (R-OH), “The Silver Boehner,” modeled by Orrin Hatch (R-UT), “The Ancient Pink Scalp With Wisp Cling,” modeled by John McCain (R-AZ), and, of course, “The Rachel,” modeled by Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
