1. That monologue was brutal

‘If he was like anyone else, he’d be in jail right now or napping on the couch while his children quietly discuss ‘the next steps’.

2. I certainly agree and Stephen Colbert pushes the envelope a little further every day

But these times clearly call for it. It's incredible what's come to pass for "normal" in just a few short months!

6. The news was piling up

The NYT story broke after they'd already taped the Tuesday show, so it had to wait until last night. By then, there was a hefty stack of headlines.

Yeah, Stephen's writers really earned their paychecks on this show!
