Colbert last night - scathing - video at link

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/05/01/stephen-colbert-demolishes-trump-for-insulting-face-the-nation-host-john-dickerson
<snip>
When you insult one member of the CBS family, you insult us all!” Colbert began. “Mr. President, I love your presidency, I call it ‘Disgrace The Nation.’ You’re not the POTUS, you’re the ‘gloat-us.’ You’re the glutton with the button. You’re a regular ‘Gorge Washington.’ You’re the ‘presi-dunce’ but you’re turning into a real ‘prick-tator.’”

“Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine,” the host continued. “You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign-language gorilla that got hit in the head.” And then the kicker: “In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.”

Perhaps he was trying to get all his best Trump burns out before his writers possibly go on strike starting tomorrow.

Colbert also recreated Trump’s CBS interview, sitting in for Dickerson and essentially mocking Trump to his face, with the help of some clever editing. When Trump told him, “I love your show,” Colbert replied, “I love your show, too. It’s hilarious.”

He had to turn his face away while snickering. Like, mission accomplished.

Dickerson had him blithering at the end like the imbecile he truly is.

He didn't need much help to do that thru most of the interview anyway.

TMZ. Their people were discussing it based on some emails and the different video interviews they do. There may be something on their website but I am unable to check at this time

Colbert had me roaring out loud with his monologue last night, laughing so hard I probably woke the neighborhood.

When he finally said, "I, sir, am no John Dickerson", I knew he was heading for an impressive wrap.

Here's the monologue:

He may really try to limit the press. I don't think he will tweet: Colbert inserted knife and twisted.
